1. A method of using a computer to analyze data representative of subscriber account usage comprising steps of:

  • (i) providing a data classifier arranged to receive a series of inputs comprising the data representative of subscriber account usage, and to produce responsive thereto classification outputs indicative of which one of a number of classes each of said series of inputs is a member of;

    (ii) providing a rule inducer arranged to receive at least some of the series of inputs and to receive from the data classifier only the classification outputs;

    (iii) inputting the series of inputs to the data classifier so as to obtain a series of corresponding outputs each comprising an indication of which one of the number of classes the input is a member of;

    (vi) operating the rule inducer to produce, responsive to the at least some of the series of inputs and the classification outputs, a series of rules descriptive of relationships between the series of inputs and the classification outputs.
