10. Predictive analytics is the practice of extracting insights from the existing
data set with the help data mining, statistical modeling and machine
learning techniques and using it to predict unobserved/unknown events.
 Identifying cause-effect relationships across the variables from the
historical data.
 Discovering hidden insights and patterns with the help of data mining
techniques.
 Apply observed patterns to unknowns in the Past, Present or Future.
What is Predictive Analytics?

11. Predictive Analytics Process Cycle

12. • Regression:
Predicting output variable using its cause-effect relationship with
input variables. OLS Regression, GLM, Random forests, ANN etc.
• Classification:
Predicting the item class. Decision Tree, Logistic Regression, ANN,
SVM, Naïve Bayes classifier etc.
• Time Series Forecasting:
Predicting future time events given past history. AR, MA, ARIMA,
Triple Exponential Smoothing, Holt-Winters etc.
Common Predictive Analytics Methods

13. • Association rule mining:
Mining items occurring together. Apriori Algorithm.
• Clustering:
Finding natural groups or clusters in the data. K-means, Hierarchical,
Spectral, Density based EM algorithm Clustering etc.
• Text mining:
Model and structure the information content of textual sources.
Sentiment Analysis, NLP
