PROJECTS
Prediction of Consumer Behavior
Analyzed bank’s large dataset, predictive modeling methods logistic regression, decision tree, clustering and neural
network were applied to predict the probability of consumer’s purchase of insurance
Factors Affecting Deprivation Cost in case of Natural Disaster/Calamity
Used utility theory to build a distribution model for improving distribution efficiencies of aid at areas affected by natural
disasters. The model, based on elicited utilities, aims to have maximum impact at ground level and minimum human
suffering
Cost-Benefit analysis on Mammography screening For Breast Cancer
