SQL: the probability of a customer to keep on buying on next months [closed]

I have this table of purchases, a customer and a month he bought a product. A short example:



*customer_ID* | *month_year*
1 | 2018-01
2 | 2018-02
1 | 2018-02


I need to query the probability of a customer to stay active (keep on buying) after 1 month, after 2 months and so on. Notice that the first month of purchasing might change between customers.



for example:



*month from first time* | *prob to keep buying*
0 month | 100%
1 month | 54%
2 month | 32%
3 month | 18%
etc... |


I would really appreciate any help.
Thanks in advance.

    And what is your algorithm for that probability? What is the difference in probability for 2018-03 between customer 1 and 2 for instance?

  • This is the way I have been asked about this question. No more details. As I umderstand, the probability means for example: What is the probability that a customers (a general one) will make another purchase 1 month after his first purchase based on the first table. I need to integrate the whole data of the first table to come up with a general probability @JoakimDanielson Maybe I got the question wrong, but after a long thinking I figure out this was probably the intention.
