    Predicting Customer Satisfaction Via Structed and Unstructured Data Using Classification and Regression
    (MEF Üniversitesi, Fen Bilimleri Enstitüsü, 2019) Danışman, Efehan; Küçükaydın, Hande
    According to different studies, retaining existing customers is five or more times more costly than acquiring new ones. This study aim to understand what customers expect from an airline using machine techniques. Dataset is scraped from Skytrax’s Airline Quality website and consists of 65947 observations with 17 columns consisting of one free format column that includes customer review. In order to do predict whether a customer recommends an airline or not, we try to utilize classification and regression algorithms. In addition to insights, this study also aims to compare the performance of the models and viability of using only free text in order to predict customer satisfaction.

    Second-Hand Car Price Estimation Using Machine Learning
    (MEF Üniversitesi, Fen Bilimleri Enstitüsü, 2018) Kütükde, Şule; Özlük, Özgür
    The ones who think to sell their cars always think about their cars’ second-hand market worth, at first. Both for the sellers and the buyers, it is crucially important to estimate the car’s realistic worth, in order not to suffer a loss of money or time. In this research, arabam.com’s advertisement data is obtained with the help of web scraping technique, and later machine learning algorithms like Linear Regression, Decision Tree, Random Forest and Gradient Boosting are applied for collected advertisement data in order to estimate cars’ prices. In addition, some hyperparameter tuning is applied for robust estimation. The models’ performances are discussed, and some remarks offered for further researches.

    Trangling Weratedogs Twitter Data To Create Interesting and Trustworthy Explosatory/Predictive Anaylses and Visulation Using Different Machine Learning Algorithms
    (MEF Üniversitesi, Fen Bilimleri Enstitüsü, 2018) Arı, Esra; Çakar, Tuna
    Social media usage has rapidly grown in recent years and knowledge in these environments increased due to this expansion. Therefore, doing exploratory and predictive analysis from intensive data of social media became so popular. However, almost all of the large datasets obtained are uncleaned / raw data. Therefore, the assessing and cleaning of the data is at least as important as the exploratory and predictive analysis. The open source WeRateDogs twitter account tweets have been gathered, assessed, cleaned, analyzed and predicted for this thesis. As a result of the study, it was understood that the most important and most time-consuming part of the predictive data analysis is the data gathering and cleaning. As a result of this project, probability of dog’s breed whether retriever or not is predicted from the tweet’s text body. 24 points increase (%34 change) in accuracy values has been achieved by doing oversampling in the data sets which contain low event observation. At the same time, the decision tree, logistic regression and random forest algorithms are compared and it is shown that the random forest's model performance is better than the others. The algorithm works 13 points better than logistic regression, 21 points better than decision tree.

    Churn Prediction in Vodafone Turkey
    (MEF Üniversitesi, Fen Bilimleri Enstitüsü, 2017) Genel, Gökhan; Ağralı, Semra
    This Capstone Project focuses on finding a churn pattern in Vodafone postpaid consumer subscribers. The churn value refers to disconnection from subscription via port-out / Mobile number portability (MNP). It is one of the most important items that demonstrate revenue-loss. The subscriber who churned with MNP switches to a rival GSM operator. The cost of keeping an existing customer is generally cheaper than the cost of acquisition of a new customer. Focusing on customer retention is one of the most profitable strategy for growth. Statistical analysis and machine learning can help analyze churn activities and they can even alert companies when their existing customers are likely to churn. By using machine-learning algorithms, this project aims to detect Vodafone postpaid consumer subscribers who are likely to churn. This project will help the company to decrease its revenue loss.
