1. A method comprising:
grouping, by a processing system including at least one processor, a plurality of nodes of a telecommunications network into a plurality of reference groups, based on a plurality of configuration attributes and on a plurality of load, mobility, radio frequency attributes for the plurality of nodes, wherein the plurality of configuration attributes is selected using a supervised machine learning technique and the plurality of load, mobility, radio frequency attributes is selected using an unsupervised machine learning technique;
selecting, by the processing system, a first reference group of the plurality of reference groups, where the first reference group includes a subset of the plurality of nodes;
selecting, by the processing system, a first configuration parameter of the first reference group to be tuned, wherein values of a setting for the first configuration parameter vary over the subset of the plurality of nodes, and wherein the first configuration parameter is at least one of: a minimum required receive frequency level in a cell of the telecommunications network, a threshold for inter-radio access technology measurements, a threshold for inter-frequency measurements, a threshold for received signal reference power for a serving cell of the telecommunications network, a threshold for received signal reference power of the serving cell for a start of inter-frequency measurements, a threshold for received signal reference power of intra-frequency of a neighboring cell, or a maximum output power of the cell per antenna;
identifying, by the processing system, a first value that occurs most frequently within the values;
determining, by the processing system, that an observable performance improvement in the telecommunications network is attributed to the first configuration parameter being set to the first value; and
setting, by the processing system, the first configuration parameter for all nodes in the subset of the plurality of nodes to the first value.
