1. A method comprising:
obtaining, by a device, network data for a set of user equipment (UE) connected to a network;
generating, by the device, UE data for each UE in the set of UEs based on user data, the generation comprising assigning each UE in the set of UEs to a UE category, the UE data, for each UE in the set of UEs, comprising frequency data that is representative of a number of periods of time, each period corresponding to an attempt to obtain the network data for a respective UE, the frequency data indicating either a presence or absence of respective network data for each attempt;
determining, by the device, a UE category weight for each UE category based on the network data;
determining, by the device, a network health score for the network, the network health score comprising a weighted analysis of the network data according to the determined UE category weights; and
causing, by the device, performance of an action in accordance with the determined network health score, the action performed in relation to at least one of the UEs in the set of UEs.
