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 second day of July 1776, will be the most memorable epoch in the history of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival. It ought to be commemorated, as the day of deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires and illuminations, from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward forever more”
—John Adams (1735–1826)
“American time has stretched around the world. It has become the dominant tempo of modern history, especially of the history of Europe.”
—Harold Rosenberg (1906–1978)
“Religious faith is a most filling vapor.
It swirls occluded in us under tight
Compression to uplift us out of weight....”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“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)
