The ability to capture and analyze big data is recognized by many enterprises as an accelerator. It has enabled many enterprises to increase revenues by better understanding, more accurately target customers and […]
In my next series of articles, I will demonstrate how to use the R statistical software to carry out some simple multivariate analyses, with a focus on principal components analysis (PCA) and […]
In my last article I talked about Time Series Analysis using R and left with simple exponential smoothing. Here I want to talk about more advanced smoothing methods. Holt’s Exponential Smoothing If […]
This article shows you how to use the R statistical software to carry out some simple analyses that are common in analyzing time series data. If the reader has some basic knowledge […]
What is the Problem? My customer frequently asks if this model or that model can be used to direct call center traffic. Usually the models are projecting an acquisition or engagement window […]
Many people probably never heard the phrase “Operations Research” used. Operations Research (OR), or operational research in the U.K, is a discipline that deals with the application of advanced analytical methods to help make […]
What economists call game theory psychologists call the theory of social situations, which is an accurate description of what game theory is about. Although game theory is relevant to parlor games such […]
I have read a number of articles and posts that claim that if you had courses in linear algebra and multivariate calculus, and know R and Python, then you are a data […]
We, the scientists who perform predictive modeling, hold a crystal ball in our hands, making concise and accurate predictions based on quality data and scientific procedures. Or, do we? What are our […]
I have been get a lot of very good questions from young analysts seeking to carve out their niche in our domain. Last year I wrote a short article with some advice […]
