Abstract
Methodologies for constructing a satisfaction prediction model for motor vehicle buyers. One method includes presenting a buyer satisfaction survey to a portion of a buyer base for one or more motor vehicles. For each buyer that completes the survey, the buyer's survey response data is joined with the buyer's purchase and warranty claim data to create an aggregate of buyer satisfaction for the portion of the buyer base that completed the survey. Next, a satisfaction prediction model is constructed based on the aggregate of buyer satisfaction. The method may be partially or wholly computer-implemented.
Claims18
A method for constructing a satisfaction prediction model for motor vehicle buyers, the method comprising:
- presenting a buyer satisfaction survey to at least a portion of a buyer base for one or more motor vehicles;
- for each buyer that completes the survey, joining the buyer's survey response data with the buyer's transactional and warranty claim data to create an aggregate of buyer satisfaction for the portion of the buyer base that completed the survey;
- and
- constructing a satisfaction prediction model for at least one motor vehicle buyer that has not completed the survey based on the aggregate of buyer satisfaction.
A computer-implemented method for modeling motor vehicle buyer satisfaction, the method comprising:
- receiving input data including survey data, purchase data and warranty claim data;
- processing the input data;
- and
- outputting a prediction of motor vehicle buyer satisfaction based on the processed input data.
A method for constructing a satisfaction prediction model for motor vehicle buyers, the method comprising:
- presenting a buyer satisfaction survey to at least a portion of a buyer base for one or more motor vehicles;
- a step for creating an aggregate of buyer satisfaction based on the buyer's survey response data, transactional data, and warranty claim data;
- and
- a step for constructing a satisfaction predicate model for at least one motor vehicle buyer based on the aggregate of buyer satisfaction.
