Data-Driven Predictive Modelling for Product Success
Uncovering Market Potential for Wearables
To be able to foresee the success of a product before its official release is vital in a rapidly changing market. The primary objective of this project was to assess the feasibility of early forecasting of a product’s success and to determine a product's market fit ability through the utilization of machine learning, by integrating historical data. The chosen industry for this research was wearable technology, which comprised smartwatches and fitness trackers, both of which are currently flourishing in the healthcare industry.The existing literature review focused on increased customer adoption and acceptance of technology; however, these studies exhibited bias. This project included the application of predictive machine learning modelling, along with thorough data pre-processing techniques, to forecast product success by incorporating technical specifications, customer reviews, ratings, and pricing features of the smart devices and trackers. Additionally, with new datasets, assuming the availability of data before the official launch, the model was able to provide highly accurate results regarding the product's likelihood of success. Key insights and recommendations have been extracted from these data analytics findings.This project held importance as it helped mitigate financial losses for businesses that introduced unsuccessful products that did not meet consumer or market needs. Thus, this model optimized the success prospects of wearable technology products in a highly competitive and rapidly evolving market. Moreover, these models were scalable and could be applied to any product or industry, demonstrating their angiographic scalability. Keywords: predictive analytics, machine learning, wearable technology, smartwatches, fitness trackers, product innovation, new product development.

Customer Segmentation Analysis
Identifying High-Value Customers and Opportunities for Personalised marketing strategies
This project involved conducting a customer segmentation analysis for a national convenience store. The objective was to gain insights into the customer base and identify distinct segments using clustering methodology. By analyzing transactional data, valuable information was obtained regarding purchasing behavior and characteristics of different customer groups.
The analysis began by defining various customer variables, including the number of baskets, average quantity of items, total and average spends per visit, product categories, purchase time, amount spent on baskets, product IDs, and purchase quantities. The data was then cleaned to handle missing values, duplicates, irrelevant information, and outliers.
Next, the RFM analysis (Recency, Frequency, Monetary) was used to engineer features that facilitated the segmentation of customers based on their buying patterns. The most relevant features were selected through the application of PCA and RFM variables, focusing on key aspects of customer behavior.
Utilizing the K-means algorithm, customers were clustered into different segments. The optimal number of clusters was determined using the elbow method and silhouette score, allowing for grouping based on similarities in purchasing behavior.
The identified segments were then analyzed to identify unique features that differentiated each group. This analysis contributed to the creation of detailed customer profiles for each segment, combining insights from clustering and feature engineering.
Finally, recommendations were provided on which customer segments the company should prioritize. These suggestions were based on both quantitative and qualitative criteria, considering potential profitability and alignment with the company's overall strategy. The analysis offered actionable insights to develop targeted and effective marketing strategies, supporting business performance improvement.

Customer Churn Prediction Model
A Machine Learning Approach
The objective of this project was to develop a machine learning model to predict customer churn for FoodCorp, a food retail company. To achieve this, the dataset was obtained from the source and processed to develop relevant features for the prediction model. The dataset was cleaned, and feature engineering was performed, followed by feature selection.
The K-fold validation method was used to determine an appropriate value for churn, which was determined to be 75 days. Three machine learning algorithms were implemented and evaluated using cross-validation. The logistic regression model achieved the highest accuracy score and was selected for the final implementation due to its high accuracy score, robustness, and interoperability.
The model had an average accuracy score of 0.89 and was robust to changes in the data. Although not as interpretable as some of the other models, it provided some level of interpretability through its feature importance scores. The churn prediction model for FoodCorp is expected to help the company improve customer retention by identifying customers who are at risk of churning and developing appropriate retention strategies.
