The Decision Tree And Neural Networks In The Telecommunications Industry And Its Contrast

In the telecom industry, there are large amounts of data.Data mining can extract information from these complex data.As the important methods of data mining, decision tree and neural net have been used in the field of telecom.The main works of this paper are as follows:Firstly, we analyze three decision tree methods:C4.5,CART (classification and regression tree),CHAID(based on Chi-square test). Then we present a new method.Secondly, we introduce a typical neural net method.Thirdly we give some examples and analyze the CHAID decision tree model as well as the neural net model.
