Outline

 Data collected from various sensors such as network counters, traffic (Voice & Data), alarm occurrences in the network etc. were loaded into Spark from SQL server directly. Data was aggregated at every hour.
 Data was treated to impute missing values, outliers etc
 Feature engineering was done and additional variables were brought in
 Used sophisticated and advanced predictive models such as Random Forest, GLM, SVM, Neural network & Decision Tree and ensembled the results from the above models to get more accurate prediction
