History of Uplift Modelling
The first appearance of true response modelling appears to be in the work of Radcliffe and Surry.
Victor Lo also published on this topic in The True Lift Model (2002), and more recently Radcliffe again with Using Control Groups to Target on Predicted Lift: Building and Assessing Uplift Models (2007).
Radcliffe also provides a very useful frequently asked questions (FAQ) section on his web site, Scientific Marketer.
Similar approaches have been explored in personalised medicine.

“The windy springs and the blazing summers, one after another, had enriched and mellowed that flat tableland; all the human effort that had gone into it was coming back in long, sweeping lines of fertility. The changes seemed beautiful and harmonious to me; it was like watching the growth of a great man or of a great idea. I recognized every tree and sandbank and rugged draw. I found that I remembered the conformation of the land as one remembers the modelling of human faces.”
—Willa Cather (1873–1947)
