1. A method for carrying out predictive analysis relating to nodes of a communication network, comprising:

  • providing, using a processor of a computer, communication event information for a first set of nodes and a second set of nodes of the communication network;

    providing a set of attributes for the nodes of the first set of nodes, wherein attributes are not available for the nodes of the second set of nodes;

    using the set of attributes and the communication event information to determine a set of groups among the first set of nodes;

    assigning each node of the second set of nodes to at least one group of the set of groups based at least on the communication event information for the second set of nodes, wherein the assigning results in membership information of the nodes of the second set of nodes, and wherein the membership information becomes a first attribute for each node of the second set of nodes;

    assigning at least one membership weight to each node of the second set of nodes, wherein the weight becomes a second attribute for each node of the second set of nodes; and

    deriving a prediction model for the second set of nodes based at least on the communication event information for the second set of nodes, the first attribute of membership information, and the second attribute of weight.
