There are few technologies that have the ability to revolutionize how business operates. Predictive analytics is one of those technologies. Predictive analytics consists primarily of the “Big 3” techniques: regression analysis, decision trees, and neural networks. Although several other techniques, such as random forests and ensemble models, have become increasingly popular in their use, predictive analytics focuses on building and evaluating predictive models resulting in key output fit statistics that are used to solve business problems. This chapter defines essential analytics terminology, walks through the nine-step process for building predictive analytics models, introduces the “Big 3” techniques, and discusses careers within business analytics.
