hey folks,

I am looking for some person/people who are really good with this statistical software. (Actually it can even be a software R, does not necessarily have to be SPSS only, perhaps even Latent Gold where I would really invite some help about latent class analysis)

I am pretty knowledgeable myself, and I do know how to use quite a huge amount of different statistical methods etc, but I would really like to find someone with whom I could consult things perhaps even on daily basis. At the moment I am doing a prediction of churn(attrition) of customers for one dutch retailer as a part of my master thesis and I have a dataset of 200 000customers and basically my goal is to develop a mathematical model that can be used for further churn prediction. I am willing to donate quite a big amount of forum gold to a guru who knows the stuff very well and will provide me with valuable hints.

I dont really think anyone will bother to help you with anything more than a simple regression model / sensitivity analysis here for a thing as worthless as forum gold; building any decent genetic programming model requires knowing your data and I dont think your client would allow sharing their DB with random people from the internet, as the DB is worth more than the FG you offer.

i do not need help with those rather simple things , at the same time I do not really need help with building the model or knowing how to interpret the output etc. It is rather discussion of some more tips and tricks that they have learned by years or practise. nad obviously I am not going to share the DB, but I guess that is rather obvious.

PS: many people do this stuff and really enjoy doing it, I am one of those people and I would perhaps even consider helping for free just for the sake of joy, plus I am not going to lose anything just for asking, right?
