Explanation

The goal of classification is to determine to which class or category a data point (customer in our case) belongs to. For classification problems, data scientists would use historical data with predefined target variables AKA labels (churner/non-churner) ?answers that need to be predicted ?to train an algorithm. With classification, businesses can answer the following questions: Will this customer churn or not? Will a customer renew their subscription? Will a user downgrade a pricing plan? Are there any signs of unusual customer behavior?
