Because of developments in Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology, data about customers’ movement paths in the grocery store are now available. In this paper, we propose a customer behavior model in the grocery store using RFID data. The proposed model is based on a nonhomogeneous hidden Markov model with covariates, and “Stop” and “Pass by” behaviors are estimated. The purchase probability of each behavior is confirmed, and we find that customers often purchase with high probability when the behavior is “Stop.” In addition, we examine the influence of sales areas and bargain sales on customer behavior by using these variables as covariates. We find that certain sales areas have strong effects on the “Stop” behavior. We confirm that these sales areas are arranged along the perimeter of the store or in the central aisle; the obtained knowledge corresponds to empirical knowledge.
