Study Notes
Business Analytics
Predictive Modeling
- Uses statistical models and algorithms to forecast future events or behaviors
- Types of predictive models:
- Regression models (e.g. linear, logistic)
- Decision trees and random forests
- Clustering models
- Neural networks
- Applications:
- Customer churn prediction
- Sales forecasting
- Credit risk assessment
- Recommendation systems
Business Intelligence
- Involves the use of technology to gather, analyze, and present data to support business decisions
- Key components:
- Data warehousing
- ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) processes
- Business analytics tools (e.g. OLAP, reporting)
- Data visualization
- Applications:
- Performance monitoring and reporting
- Identifying business opportunities and trends
- Improving operational efficiency
Data Mining
- Process of discovering patterns and relationships in large datasets
- Techniques:
- Association rule mining
- Clustering analysis
- Decision tree induction
- Text mining
- Applications:
- Customer segmentation and profiling
- Market basket analysis
- Fraud detection
- Recommendation systems
Data Visualization
- Presentation of data in a graphical or visual format to facilitate understanding and decision-making
- Types of data visualization:
- Charts and graphs
- Geospatial visualization
- Interactive visualization (e.g. dashboards)
- Infographics
- Applications:
- Exploratory data analysis
- Communicating insights to stakeholders
- Identifying trends and patterns
- Monitoring performance metrics
