Building a more sophisticated model
One of the best predictors of future giving is a history of recent, frequent, and large gifts. In marketing terms, this is known as R/F/M:
- Recency
- Frequency
- Money
Donors that haven't given both recently and frequently may be especially likely to give again; in other words, the combined impact of recency and frequency may be greater than the sum of the separate effects.
Because these predictors together have a greater impact on the dependent variable, their joint effect must be modeled as an interaction. The donors dataset has been loaded for you.

- Create a logistic regression model of
donatedas a function ofmoneyplus the interaction ofrecencyandfrequency. Use*to add the interaction term. - Examine the model's
summary()to confirm the interaction effect was added. - Save the model's predicted probabilities as
rfm_prob. Use thepredict()function, and remember to set thetypeargument. - Plot a ROC curve by using the function
roc(). Remember, this function takes the column of outcomes and the vector of predictions. - Compute the AUC for the new model with the function
auc()and compare performance to the simpler model.
