Abstract:
Provided is a grouping system capable of determining a group of products so that groups of the products likely to be simultaneously purchased can be grasped. A storage means 71 stores at least a purchasing context that is information indicating one or more types of products purchased in one purchasing activity. A grouping means 72 uses a likelihood of a combination of a group of the purchasing contexts, a group of the products, and a distribution parameter of a purchasing result, calculated by using the purchasing result corresponding to the combination of the group of the purchasing contexts, the group of the products, and the distribution parameter of the purchasing result, to determine the group of the purchasing contexts, the group of the products, and the distribution parameter of the purchasing result.
Abstract:
There is provided a grouping system capable of defining groups of customers with similar purchase trends with high accuracy and defining groups of products or product-related items in terms of similar purchase trends, or groups of services or service-related items in terms of similar purchase trends with high accuracy. A purchase trend calculation means 3 calculates a trend of a customer to purchase a product per combination of customer and product or per combination of customer and product-related item as item related to a product on the basis of customers' product purchase situations. A grouping means 4 defines groups of customers and defines groups of products or groups of product-related items on the basis of the trends and a distribution of the trends.
Abstract:
Provided is a grouping system capable of grouping customers and options in each channel, considering variation of behavior of each customer depending on the channel. A grouping means 3 uses a likelihood of a group of customers, a group of options in a first channel, and a group of options in a second channel, calculated based on a distribution parameter of a history of the activity according to a combination of the group of customers and the group of options in the first channel, a history of the activity in the first channel, a distribution parameter of a history of the activity according to a combination of the group of customers and the group of options in the second channel, and a history of the activity in the second channel, to determine the group of customers, the group of options in the first channel, and the group of options in the second channel.
Abstract:
This invention discloses a shipment-volume prediction device that predicts the shipment volumes of products at a new store. A classification unit (90) classifies a plurality of existing stores into a plurality of clusters. On the basis of information regarding the new store, a cluster estimation unit (91) estimates which cluster the new store will belong to. A shipment-volume prediction unit (92) estimates the shipment volumes of products at the new store by computing predicted shipment volumes for said products at existing stores that belong to the same cluster as the new store.
Abstract:
This invention discloses a product recommendation device that recommends products that are selling well in many stores, not products that are selling well in only some stores. For each of a plurality of products sold at a plurality of stores, a score computation unit (90) computes a score that increases as a function of both shipment volume and the number of stores at which the product in question is being dealt. A product recommendation unit (91) recommends products that have higher scores than products being dealt at the store for which the recommendation is being made.
