In this research paper the researcher builds a predictive model on churn customers using SMOTE and XG-Boost additive model and machine learning techniques in Telecommunication Industries. Customer’s churning is one of the global research issues in telecommunication industries. In somehow customers are not satisfying from telecommunication customer services, call rate, international plan, data pack, and others which are having a significant impact on customer’s services. The researcher used the SMOTE and XGboost technique to handle the imbalanced dataset and gives the higher-level accuracy for predictive model to identify the category of customer whether they are in churn or not churn. The researcher used the comparative study between logistics regression and random forest algorithms to classify the category of churn customers and non-churn customers in Telecommunication Industries. The predictive model is verifying at 96% accuracy level and can be capable to handle imbalance dataset. As per the data analysis the score of the confusion matrix is such as accuracy 94%, Precision for “ did not leave “ is 0.97 whereas recall is 0.96, and F1score is 0.97 with the support features of 903. For the churn customers precision is 0.80, recall is 0.81, F1-score is 0.80 and support features is 160, the data analysis report shows that the predictive model is having 94% accuracy whereas at 6% does not predict accurately about the customers status. Finally, the researcher concluded that the predictive model is more accurate and can be capable to handle imbalance dataset. The researchers assure that the predictive model would be benefited for the telecommunication industries to categories the churn/ non-churn customers and accordingly the organization can make changes their business plan and policies which would be benefited for the customers.

This chapter outlines a case of identifying students at-risk of dropping out of online courses by using institutional research data. The case delineates this step-by-step process that includes identification of appropriate constructs and variables, data collection, data pre-processing, data analysis, and model evaluation to develop a predictive model for student dropout in online courses at a small, public, Midwest university in the United States. Included is a comparative data analysis of various machine learning techniques, such as Artificial Neural Networks (ANN), Decision Trees, and Support Vector Machines (SVM), with statistical Logistic Regression (LR) analysis. The chapter provides steps for data analysis and predictive modeling using the open source, downloadable data mining software, WEKA. The chapter concludes with a discussion on the challenges and suggestions for building a predictive model in the context of institutional research.

With the advancement of technology, existence of energy meters are not merely to measure energy units. The proliferation of energy meter deployments had led to significant interest in analyzing the energy usage by the machines. Energy meter data is often difficult to analyzeowing to the aggregation of many disparate and complex loads. At utility scales, analysis is further complicated by the vast quantity of data and hence industries turn towards applying machine learning techniques for monitoring and measuring loads of the machines. The energy meter data analysis aims at analyzing the behavior of the machine and providing insights on usage of the energy. This will help the industries to identify the faults in the machine and to rectify it.Two use cases with two different motor specifications is considered for evaluation and the efficiency is proved by considering accuracy, precision, F-measure and recall as metrics.
