S02 / Retail and e-commerce
A merchandise planner must balance excess inventory against missed sales across stores and categories. Ask whether coherent probabilistic forecasts produce more reliable replenishment decisions than independent point forecasts.

S03 / Retail and e-commerce
An e-commerce team needs to distinguish temporarily inactive buyers from customers unlikely to return. Estimate future transaction counts and revenue distributions to support the timing and prioritization of win-back campaigns.

S01 / Retail and e-commerce
A retail marketing director must decide which customer segments deserve limited campaign capacity. Test whether forward-looking customer value identifies future high-value households better than recent spending alone, while detecting dependence on discounts.
Awaiting prerequisite
Hierarchical count/spend models; gradient boosting; customer value
Create household-month snapshots from transactions, baskets and available promotion records. Predict next-quarter purchasing and net sales using only prior history. Model transaction frequency and basket value separately; compare a hierarchical count/spend model with gradient boosting. Track discounted and full-price purchasing as separate outcomes.
Evaluation: Use rolling quarterly holdouts and household-clustered uncertainty. Compare against recency-frequency-monetary scoring and last-quarter sales. Report forecast error, calibration by value decile, top-budget value capture, and sensitivity to returns and discount accounting.
Boundary: The frequent-shopper panel is selective. Promotion exposure is observational: the project cannot establish incremental sales caused by a coupon or prove retention ROI.
The 60-topic program spans 20 industries, with 9 studies published. Synthetic demonstrations are counted separately. Unpublished topics have no public case-study route.
