System and method for outage prediction

A non-transitory computer readable media storing instructions programmed to prevent an outage in a network and programmed to cooperate with a processor to perform operations, comprising:

• collecting network metrics;
• statistically analyzing the collected network metrics from a predetermined time window to produce statistical features of the network during the time window;
• selecting, from the produced statistical features, a first data set of relevant ones of the produced statistical features;
• collecting information about a past event;
• extracting event data from the past event;
• vectorizing the extracted event data to form a second data set including the extracted event data;
• concatenating the first data set and the second data set to form a third data set;
• classifying the third data set relative to a model of historical network performance to determine a probability of the outage within the network;
• and
• modifying, in response to the probability of the outage being above a threshold, the network and/or activity within the network to avoid onset of the outage.
