Great work bro!

My question is how were you able to come with those features you engineered by operation?

How did you know that region and tenure are key features to work with?

Most surprising, how did you know that filling the missing works with a totally different values works better than the regular statistical methods?

I'm curious about those things.

Thanks

* I plotted feature importance for a simple Randomforest Classifier without any feature engineering, then after seeing the important features, i decided to create more features by multiplying, suming etc some of them. while some where just by intuition.

* I didn't know until i tried building a model with and without both, then i noticed improvements. Creating features based on TENURE and REGION can also give the model a sense of customer behavior with respect to how long they've been with the service provider or the region where they are based

* I tried the usual statistical methods but this one seem to perform better* I tried the usual statistical methods but this one seem to perform better
