Professional paperThis paper defines an advanced methodology for modeling applications based on Data Mining methods that represents a logical framework for development of Data Mining applications. Methodology suggested here for Data Mining modeling process has been applied and tested through Data Mining applications for predicting Prepaid users churn in the telecom industry. The main emphasis of this paper is defining of a successful model for prediction of potential Prepaid churners, in which the most important part is to identify the very set of input variables that are high enough to make the prediction model precise and reliable. Several models have been created and compared on the basis of different Data Mining methods and algorithms (neural networks, decision trees, logistic regression). For the modeling examples we used WEKA analysis tool.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
