Abstract
Within the field of advertising, a data-driven solution is proposed that enables attribution to use a two-stage model, to account for (1) the timing of a purchase occasion, and (2) a prediction of the quantity purchased. This allows for an accurate forecast of quantity purchased, which is meaningful to media teams and advertisers. Attribution is the process of assigning credit to marketing activities for their contribution towards driving a desired marketing result.
