Abstract

At present, colleges and universities have established more comprehensive financial aid systems for poor college students, but due to the traditional poverty identification methods are subjective, poverty indicators are difficult to quantify and other factors, making the identification of poor students still a difficult problem in college financial aid decision-making. In this paper, based on the campus big data, we analyze the consumption behavior information, living habits and study situation of college students as well as propose a variant of CLS-RFM model. The information entropy modified hierarchical analysis is used to determine the parameter weights from a combination of quantitative and qualitative perspectives on the index factors of students’ consumption, life and study, and cluster analysis is performed on students according to the improved RFM variables. In this paper, the model is applied to the actual problem and data to assist a university's financial aid, proving the effectiveness and feasibility of the method.
