Build a Customer Churn Prediction Model in Python (Portfolio Project)

Predicting customer churn is one of the most requested skills in Data Science interviews right now. In this tutorial, I'll walk you through how to build a complete Churn Prediction Model from scratch using Python, Pandas, and Scikit-Learn.

If you prefer a step-by-step visual walkthrough where I code this live, check out my full YouTube tutorial below:

🛠️ What We Are Building

We are building a binary classification model. Using a dataset of customer demographics, account information, and service usage, our model will predict whether a specific customer is likely to cancel their subscription (churn) or stay. This is a real-world problem businesses face daily to improve customer retention.

1. Prerequisites & Setup

First, ensure you have your environment set up. I recommend using Jupyter Notebook or VS Code.

Install the required libraries in your terminal:


bash
pip install pandas numpy scikit-learn matplotlib seaborn
