Each row represents a customer, each column contains customer’s attributes described on the
column Metadata. The data set includes information about:
Customers who left within the last month – the column is called Churn

Customer account information – how long they’ve been a customer, contract, payment
method, paperless billing, monthly charges, and total charges
Demographic info about customers – gender, age range, and if they have partners and
dependents
Students are to try different models (with different combinations of variables sets), and select the
est model based on Decile tables. For example, the best model will have a highest average
Churn rate in Decile 1.
Submission:
1) Model comparison on Decile 1 Chur rates (include for all models you developed)
2) Decile table for the best model
3) Training Model Results table for the best model
4) Decile 1 Profile for the best model (Means of all the variables used in the model)

Customer satisfaction.
In this assignment, students are to build a model best predicting the customer satisfaction.
Simulated data represents customer responses to a survey about their satisfaction with different
aspects of their recent visit to an amusement park. Variables in the model are:
weekend: as the visit on a weekend
num.child: how may children were in the party
distance: how far did the party travel to the park
ides, games, wait, clean; performance rating (1-100)
overall: satisfaction rating (1-100)
Students are to try different models (with different variables), and select the best model based
on R2 and RMSE.
Submission:
1) Model comparison on R2 and RMSE (include for all models you developed, list the
variables included in the model)
2) Training Model Results table for the best model – along with interpretation
