Data Set Information:
To demonstrate the RFMTC marketing model (a modified version of RFM), this study
adopted the donor database of Blood Transfusion Service Center in Hsin-Chu City
in Taiwan. The center passes their blood transfusion service bus to one
university in Hsin-Chu City to gather blood donated about every three months. To
build a FRMTC model, we selected 748 donors at random from the donor database.
These 748 donor data, each one included R (Recency - months since last
donation), F (Frequency - total number of donation), M (Monetary - total blood
donated in c.c.), T (Time - months since first donation), and a binary variable
representing whether he/she donated blood in March 2007 (1 stand for donating
blood; 0 stands for not donating blood).
