How can I identify trends and patterns in the data like subscriber data of a telecom company?

94    Asked by DanielCameron in Salesforce , Asked on Feb 20, 2024

I am currently engaged in a particular task that is related to analyzing subscriber data for a particular telecom company. How can I approach identifying trends and patterns in the data for optimization of retention strategies so that I can improve the satisfaction of customers? 

Answered by Daniel BAKER

 In the context of Salesforce, you can use the various tools and techniques for your particular objective of getting the patterns and trends from a data set of a telecom company. Here are the points given:-

Data exploration

You can start by loading the subscriber data into a data analysis tool in the Python programming language such as pandas and NumPy. You can utilize descriptive statistics to understand the variables’ distribution:-

Import pandas as pd

# Load subscriber data

Subscriber_data = pd.read_csv(‘subscriber_data.csv’)
# Explore data
Print(subscriber_data.describe())
Print(subscriber_data.head())

Data visualization

You can perform data visualization like Matplotlib or Seaborn so that you can gain insights quickly:-

Import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
Import seaborn as sns
# Visualize subscriber demographics
Sns.histplot(subscriber_data[‘age’], bins=20, kde=True)
Plt.title(‘Distribution of Subscriber Age’)
Plt.xlabel(‘Age’)
Plt.ylabel(‘Frequency’)
Plt.show()

Churn analysis

You can also calculate the churn rate which refers to the percentage of subscribers who left their services:-

# Calculate churn rate

Churn_rate = (subscriber_data[‘churned’].sum() / len(subscriber_data)) * 100
Print(“Churn Rate:”, churn_rate, “%”)
# Logistic regression example
From sklearn.linear_model import LogisticRegression
From sklearn.model_selection import train_test_split
From sklearn.metrics import accuracy_score
# Prepare data
X = subscriber_data[[‘age’, ‘usage’, ‘location’]]
Y = subscriber_data[‘churned’]
X_train, X_test, y_train, y_test = train_test_split(X, y, test_size=0.2, random_state=42)
# Train model
Model = LogisticRegression()
Model.fit(X_train, y_train)
# Predict and evaluate
Predictions = model.predict(X_test)
Accuracy = accuracy_score(y_test, predictions)
Print(“Accuracy:”, accuracy)

Segmentation analysis

You can perform analysis based on certain segmentation such as heavy users or light users or based on demographics such as groups, location, etc:-

# Segment subscribers based on usage
Subscriber_data[‘usage_segment’] = pd.cut(subscriber_data[‘usage’], bins=[0, 100, 500, float(‘inf’)], labels=[‘Low’, ‘Medium’, ‘High’])
# Segment visualization
Sns.countplot(x=’usage_segment’, hue=’churned’, data=subscriber_data)
Plt.title(‘Churn Rate by Usage Segment’)
Plt.xlabel(‘Usage Segment’)
Plt.ylabel(‘Count’)
Plt.show()

Predicative modeling

You can use the machine learning algorithms for getting the prediction of churn:-

# Random forest example

From sklearn.ensemble import RandomForestClassifier# Train model
Rf_model = RandomForestClassifier(n_estimators=100, random_state=42)
Rf_model.fit(X_train, y_train)
# Predict and evaluate
Rf_predictions = rf_model.predict(X_test)
Rf_accuracy = accuracy_score(y_test, rf_predictions)
  Print(“Random Forest Accuracy:”, rf_accuracy)
