Project Abstract

Abstract
Customer churn, the phenomenon where customers discontinue their services with a company, poses a significant challenge for businesses in the telecommunications industry. To address this issue, predictive modeling using machine learning techniques has emerged as a promising approach to identify customers who are at risk of churn. This research project focuses on developing and evaluating predictive models for customer churn in the telecommunications industry using various machine learning algorithms. The research begins with a comprehensive review of the literature on customer churn, machine learning techniques, and their applications in the telecommunications industry. This review provides a theoretical foundation for the study and highlights the importance of predictive modeling in reducing customer churn rates. The research methodology section outlines the data collection process, feature selection methods, model development, and evaluation techniques employed in this study. Data from a telecommunications company will be used to train and test the predictive models, with relevant performance metrics used to assess the accuracy and effectiveness of the models. The findings from the research will be discussed in detail in the results chapter, highlighting the performance of different machine learning algorithms in predicting customer churn. Factors influencing churn prediction accuracy, such as feature importance and model selection, will be analyzed to provide insights for businesses looking to implement predictive modeling for customer retention. The conclusion chapter summarizes the key findings of the research and discusses the implications for the telecommunications industry. Recommendations for future research and practical implications for businesses in implementing predictive modeling for customer churn management will be provided. Overall, this research project aims to contribute to the existing literature on customer churn prediction in the telecommunications industry by demonstrating the effectiveness of machine learning techniques in identifying customers at risk of churn. By leveraging predictive modeling, telecommunications companies can proactively address customer retention strategies and improve overall customer satisfaction and loyalty.
