Overall Satisfaction with IBM SPSS

IBM SPSS modded is used in building a forecasting model and a customer churn propensity model. Both were originally built 5 years ago and have been used on and off. Ideally, the same models would be easily rebuilt in Python or R but [the] modeler offers efficiencies better than other tools. This could also be because the [IBM] SPSS models were built by someone with a lot of experience [with] the tool.
  • Feature selection
  • PCA
  • Ensemble models
  • Reading how the model has been built
  • Reusing with Python
  • Can’t be reused with R
60% of all customers likely to churn identified by model built on modeler 95+% accuracy in forecast.
It did not have an impact since neither model [has] been used effectively.
Easier to build ensembles and also in forecasting than with Python. De trending and deseasonalizing data are far easier.
Quick build of models
