The use of fuzzy logic in machine learning is becoming widespread. In machine learning problems, the data, which have different characteristics, are trained and predicted together. Training the model consisting of data with different characteristics can increase the rate of error in prediction. In this study, we suggest a new approach to assembling prediction with fuzzy clustering. Our approach aims to cluster the data according to their fuzzy membership value and model it with similar characteristics. This approach allows for efficient clustering of objects with more than one cluster characteristic. On the other hand, our approach will enable us to combine boosting type ensemble algorithms, which are various forms of assemblies that are widely used in machine learning due to their excellent success in the literature. We used a mobile game’s customers’ marketing and gameplay data for predicting their customer lifetime value for testing our approach. Customer lifetime value prediction for users is crucial for determining the marketing cost cap for companies. The findings reveal that using a fuzzy method to ensemble the algorithms outperforms implementing the algorithms individually.

The concept of regarding customers as assets that should be managed and whose value should be measured is now accepted and recognized by academics and practitioners. This focus on customer relationship management makes it extremely important to understand customer lifetime value (CLV) because CLV models are an efficient and effective way to evaluate a firm's relationship with its customers. Assessment of CLV is especially important for firms in implementing customer-oriented services. In this paper we provide a critical review of the literature on the development process and applications of CLV.
