Résumé

Mobile communication has become a dominant medium of communication over the past two decades. New technologies and competitors are emerging rapidly and churn prediction has become a great concern for telecom companies. A customer churn prediction model can provide the accurate identification of potential churners so that a retention solution may be provided to them. The proposed churn prediction model is a hybrid model that is based on a combination of clustering and classification algorithms using an ensemble. First, different clustering algorithms (
