The research methodology involves applying various machine learning models including Logistic Regression, Decision Tree, Random Forest, XGBoost, K-Nearest Neighbors, and LightGBM. A significant part of the study was the use of the Synthetic Minority Over-sampling Technique (SMOTE) to address class imbalance, coupled with rigorous validation methods like stratified K-fold cross-validation and a hold-out test set. The findings indicate a close performance between the LightGBM and XGBoost models. LightGBM slightly outperforms with an accuracy of 0.98, demonstrating high recall, precision, and F1-score for the minority class. XGBoost closely matches these metrics, presenting itself as an equally effective alternative for churn prediction. The thesis also delves into feature importance analysis from the LightGBM model, providing valuable insights for targeted customer retention strategies at Lusitania Seguros.Instituto Superior de Economia e GestãoBastos, JoãoFranco, LuísSilva, Paulo MartinsRepositório da Universidade de LisboaLashkajani, Masoud Mirzakazemi2023-032023-03-01T00:00:00Z2024-05-22T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10400.5/29475engLashkajani, Masoud Mirzakazemi (2023). “Predictive modeling of motor client's propensity to churn”.
