Abstract

In the telecommunication sector, particularly in the cellular phone service area, customer expenditures have been in the areas of voice, short messages, and internet usage, leading to a pattern of more or less regular monthly bills. Recently, telecommunication companies started to associate retail stores to their billed commercial activities, resulting in unusual variations in the monthly payment sequences of their customers. In the present work we propose a method for detecting retail expenditure in monthly bills. We then code the information of the discretized version into a binary hierarchical tree and we classify them as positive or negative with respect to complaint potential.
