A discrete-continuous model is the combination of two models: a discrete model that will predict if someone will make a purchase, and a continuous model that will predict the purchase amount (if a purchase occurs). The two models are then combined together to obtain an expected spend amount.
For a discrete-continuous model, the target variable should contain either 0 (no purchase observed) or a positive value representing the amount purchased.
