  5. Performance window is how far out you want the model to predict. If you are unsure of which performance window to use, then you should choose the recommended window that Mage automatically calculates based on the transaction date selected.

  6. If you don't choose the recommended window, you should keep the window under a year because the farther out the model predicts, the less accurate the model predictions will be.

  7. ID column is the column that contains the unique identifier for the user/customer you are trying to predict LTV for.

  8. Under advanced options (optional)

    Observation window: For best model performance results, we recommend using at least 3 months. The more data you can provide, the better your model may perform.
