Copyright 2007, Information Builders. Slide 23 Business Dilemma Send catalogs to 300k prospects Cost: $100 per catalog Average Profit per response is $250 (hypothetically) Response: a little over 29% of prospects receiving catalog Under these conditions, a catalog campaign will not be profitable - with a little math, actually lose $8.25million.
Copyright 2007, Information Builders. Slide 24 Impact… Target 20% of most likely responders based on model output. Likely to make $9million profit A realized gain $17.25 million
What is Predictive Analytics? Predictive Analytics (PA) helps one to… Discover/understand what’s going on Predict what’s going to happen Improve overall decision making Improve business processes Create a competitive edge! Predictive Analytics IS a key business process… Learning from experience User-centric, interactive Leverages analysis technologies and computing power An information-based approach to decision making Results are mainly used in a forward-looking style

Predictive Modeling and Scoring Applications Definition of Predictive Modeling: Predictive modeling is a process that: (1) takes as an input historical data, (2) evaluates it statistically, (3) creates as an output, a mathematical formula or a set of rules, (4) which can be applied to a new record or a new set of records (5) to calculate a score (the prediction) for each record. The score/prediction can be used in any report to facilitate decision making. Definition of Scoring Application: A scoring application integrates the created model (#3 above) into workflow application that provides the UI for users to extract data or pass records to the model and return the results into a report or a process flow.

Building Predictive Applications Copyright 2007, Information Builders. Slide 30 Development is done in a fully integrated BI and Predictive Analytics Environment
WebFOCUS RStat Comprehensive List of Analytic Models Supervised modeling for classification and prediction: A target (dependent) variable and a training set are required to build the model. Unsupervised modeling for classification only: Classification is generated directly on the original data, without building a model first, i.e., dependent variables and training data are not required. Clustering – both K-means and Hierarchical clustering Association Rules Hypothesis Testing: T-Tests, Variance tests. Transformations: Rescales, Impute, Remap, and Cleanup Descriptive statistic: Summary statistics, distributions, correlations, principal components Model evaluation: Error Matrix, Risk chart, Lift chart, ROC Curve, Precision and Sensitivity charts Decision Trees Boosting (Ada Boost - algorithm) randomForests (the algorithm name is the same) Regression – Linear, GLM, Logistic, Poisson and Multinomial Association Rules (apropri algorithm for Market Basket analysis) Support Vector Machines Neural Networks (FeedForward Neural Network model) Survival Analysis – Cox PH and Parametric
