Disclosed are techniques for generating features to train a predictive model to predict a customer lifetime value or churn rate. In one embodiment, a method is disclosed comprising receiving a record that includes a plurality of fields and selecting a value associated with a selected field in the plurality of fields. The method then queries a lookup table comprising a mapping of values to aggregated statistics using the value and receives an aggregated statistic based on the querying. Next, the method generates a feature vector by annotating the record with the aggregated statistic. The method uses this feature vector as an input to a predictive model.
