This project aims to analyze e-commerce purchase data to
gain insights into customer behaviour and optimize business
strategies. Using Python's powerful libraries like Pandas,
Matplotlib, Seaborn, and Scikit-learn, we will perform customer
segmentation, identify purchase patterns, develop a
recommendation system, predict customer churn, and forecast
sales. The analysis will help businesses tailor marketing efforts,
improve customer satisfaction, and drive sales growth by
leveraging data-driven decisions.
6.1 Key Features
1. Customer Segmentation: Identify distinct customer groups
based on purchase behaviour and demographics to tailor
marketing strategies effectively.
2. Purchase Pattern Analysis: Analyze common purchase trends
and behaviours among different customer segments to optimize
product offerings and marketing efforts.
3. Recommendation System: Develop a personalized
recommendation system using machine learning techniques to
suggest products that customers are likely to purchase.
4. Churn Prediction and Sales Forecasting: Predict customer
churn and forecast future sales to improve customer retention
and manage inventory efficiently

6.2 System Requirements
Programming Language: Python 3.x
Libraries Used:
Pandas: For data manipulation and analysis. It provides data
structures like DataFrames to handle and analyze large datasets
efficiently.

NumPy: For numerical operations and handling arrays. It is
often used alongside Pandas for data manipulation.
Matplotlib: For data visualization. It helps create a wide range
of static, animated, and interactive plots.
Seaborn: Built on top of Matplotlib, it provides a high-level
interface for drawing attractive and informative statistical
graphics.
6.3 Project Structure
The program is organized into three main components:
Introduction:
Overview of the project
Objectives and goals
Data Collection:
Identify data sources (transaction data, customer data,
product data, web analytics data)
Methods of data acquisition (APIs, web scraping,
databases)
Data Preprocessing:

duplicates, correcting errors)
Data transformation (normalization, encoding categorical
variables, date-time conversion)
Data integration (merging data from different sources,
feature engineering)
Data reduction (dimensionality reduction, sampling)
Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA):
