This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of various machine learning algorithms in predicting marketing innovations. It focuses on how accurately these models can forecast the introduction of innovative product design, distribution, promotion, or pricing strategies, which are crucial for companies to maintain a competitive edge and optimize resource allocation. Using microdata from the Flash Eurobarometer 486 survey, which includes data from SMEs, start-ups, scale-ups, and entrepreneurship across 27 EU member states and 12 other countries, the study compares the performance of algorithms like logistic regression, random forest, and gradient boosting machines. These models are assessed based on key metrics such as precision, recall, F1-Score, and AUC. The findings reveal that logistic regression and gradient boosting machines consistently perform well across all metrics, making them reliable choices for predicting marketing innovations. The study highlights the importance of balancing different performance metrics when choosing predictive models, offering valuable insights for researchers and practitioners in selecting appropriate algorithms.

摘要

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of various machine learning algorithms in predicting marketing innovations. It focuses on how accurately these models can forecast the introduction of innovative product design, distribution, promotion, or pricing strategies, which are crucial for companies to maintain a competitive edge and optimize resource allocation. Using microdata from the Flash Eurobarometer 486 survey, which includes data from SMEs, start-ups, scale-ups, and entrepreneurship across 27 EU member states and 12 other countries, the study compares the performance of algorithms like logistic regression, random forest, and gradient boosting machines. These models are assessed based on key metrics such as precision, recall, F1-Score, and AUC. The findings reveal that logistic regression and gradient boosting machines consistently perform well across all metrics, making them reliable choices for predicting marketing innovations. The study highlights the importance of balancing different performance metrics when choosing predictive models, offering valuable insights for researchers and practitioners in selecting appropriate algorithms.
