Abstract
A recursive algorithm may be applied to group cells in a service network into a small number of clusters. For each of the clusters, different regression algorithms may be evaluated, and a regression algorithm generating a smallest error is selected. A total error for the clusters may be identified based on the errors from the selected regression algorithms and from degrees of separation associated with the cluster. If the total error is greater than a threshold value, the cells may be grouped into a larger number of clusters and the new clusters may be re-evaluated. A key performance indicator (KPI) may be estimated for a cell based on a regression algorithm selected for the cluster associated with the cell. A resources may be allocated to the cell based on the KPI value.
