I’m trying to solve a problem similar to the Rossman challenge from Part 2.
In short, I have a list of customers with monthly stats such as revenue and other key figures.
I want to predict (yes/no) if each customer will exceed $10,000 in the next 3 months.
To do this I can think of two options
Have only one row per customer with key stats such as previous months revenue etc and one label (did they reach $10,000 3 months after yes, no)
Have one row per month per customer with the label per row being if the customer reached $10,000 3 months out
I’m not exactly sure I follow #1, but I think #2 makes a decent amount of sense. I would also have other labels that give 2 months out, 1 month out etc. That just seems like a better way to answer the problem and you may see that your model is better at answering a different timeframe. Something to try at least. Good luck!
