::Thanks! --[[User:Ronz|Ronz]] ([[User talk:Ronz|talk]]) 01:27, 9 December 2012 (UTC)
:::OK, I made the requested change. Good idea. Thanks. Sorry it took longer than I thought for me to get to this. Note, if someone wants to put a citation for which tools are notable, someone can reference the [[Rexer's Annual Data Miner Survey|Annual Data Miner Survey]]. Due to COI, I do not want to add this wiki-link myself. If a list of external citations to the Data Miner Survey is desired - [http://www.rexeranalytics.com/Data_Miner_Survey_Citations.html here's the list]. Only some of the citations listed there are wikipedia worthy peer reviewed journals and books; others are blogs and press releases.

== Survival or duration analysis ==
"Censoring and non-normality, which are characteristic of survival data, generate difficulty when trying to analyze the data using conventional statistical models such as multiple linear regression. The normal distribution, being a symmetric distribution, takes positive as well as negative values, but duration by its very nature cannot be negative and therefore normality cannot be assumed when dealing with duration/survival data. Hence the normality assumption of regression models is violated."
Though the normal distribution may not always be appropriate for analyzing duration or survival data, I think the reasoning above is flawed. It states that duration cannot be negative and that therefore normality cannot be assumed. However, human height, for example, cannot be negative, but no one would argue that the distribution of heights in a population cannot be normal because height cannot be negative. The author also states later in the section that duration models can be parametric, which would include the normal distribution. I'm not a statistician so I cannot offer an alternative to what has been written, but it does need to be changed.

== Predictive Analysis for Web Fraud ==
I added a link to a page on Experian's company website. Experian is a leading global information services company, providing data and analytical tools to clients around the world. The linked page shows recent advancements in technology have also introduced predictive behavior analysis for web fraud detection. ([[User talk:Pablodim91|talk]]) 22:01, 27 October 2013 (UTC)
:I removed it as an example and [[WP:PSTS|primary source]] that comes across as [[WP:SOAP|advertising]]. We need an [[WP:IS|independent]] and secondary/tertiary [[WP:RS|source]] instead. --[[User:Ronz|Ronz]] ([[User talk:Ronz|talk]]) 15:53, 28 October 2013 (UTC)
==Predictive analytics vs. predictive modelling==
Predictive analtytics, a sister science to [[predictive modelling]], is seperate and distinct as it is an insurance industry term which specifically refers to making realtime live judgements about the likelihood that a particular insured is going to have an accident or is lying on an insurance claim. <small><span class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:69.27.2.186|69.27.2.186]] ([[User talk:69.27.2.186|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/69.27.2.186|contribs]]) </span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned -->
:Yes, I left a comment in the redirect to that effect. I've put the above text as a stub for now instead of the redirect, although I think the field of predictive analytics is broader than that insurance industry view. – [[User:Doug Bell|Doug Bell]] <sup>[[User talk:Doug Bell|talk]]'''•'''[[Special:Contributions/Doug Bell|contrib]]</sup> 20:33, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
::It really looks to me like this [[predictive analytics]] entry and [[predictive modeling]] are largely covering the same topics. And it's odd that the [[predictive modeling]] entry doesn't contain any links to [[predictive analytics]]. To me, it looks like these two wikipedia entries should be combined. My idea would be to incorporate some of the material from the [[predictive modeling]] entry into the [[predictive analytics]] entry, then establish a "re-direct", so that when someone types in "predictive modeling" they are brought to [[predictive analytics]]. However, I'm an inexperienced wikipedia contributor, and am unaware of the general wikipedia conventions for consolidating articles like this. I also do not want to offend the authors who have put lots of hard work into the two entries. -- So I merely want to bring up the idea here for discussion to see what others think of the idea. [[User:Krexer|Karl]] ([[User talk:Krexer|talk]]) 15:34, 1 March 2014 (UTC)
:I agree. When I edited the [[predictive modeling]] I did not realize this page existed. Seeing it, I realize that the amount of overlap is so substantial that the two need merging. I'm also too much of a novice to know where to start. We could expand the section on predictive models in this page to include the models from the predictive modeling page. Currently on this page they are under "Analytical Techniques" which I think is vague and generic. Hence a Models section would make more sense. <small><span class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Thomas Speidel|Thomas Speidel]] ([[User talk:Thomas Speidel|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Thomas Speidel|contribs]]) 23:20, 1 March 2014 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
==Criticism==
The criticism section lacks context in that the example reported deals with the difficulties of predicting human behaviours. Yet, a predictive model can be used for any quantifiable measure, not just behaviours.
I think criticism also needs to include the problems that make a model inappropriate. For example, statistical literacy in applying the right methodology, understanding the limitation of each methodology, having realistic assumptions, diagnostics, the treatment of missing information, measurement error, several types of bias, internal and external validation, overfitting.
==Tools==
The tools section appears biased and somewhat missinformed. Thus I have tagged two statements with citation needed. In particular" "However, modern predictive analytics tools are no longer restricted to IT specialists". It is not clear how predictive analytics tools used to be a prerogative of IT specialists. The other statement: "Predictive analytics tools have become sophisticated enough to adequately present and dissect data problems" also implies that these tools were not sophisticated enough in the past, which I do not believe is accurate. I think the confusion might be caused by the popularity some of those tools are now enjoying which makes them look "new".
== Addition to Tools Section ==
I suggest that Medio Systems be added to the tools section. They are frequently in the news. Here are some external links to consider:

Source is not publicly available, therefore making the reference questionable. http://www.information-management.com/infodirect/20060707/1057744-1.html. A lot of old references would be better if there were updated sources, and there is a need for more references.

<blockquote>
The defining functional effect of these technical approaches is that predictive analytics provides a predictive score (probability) for each individual (customer, employee, healthcare patient, product SKU, vehicle, component, machine, or other organizational unit) in order to determine, inform, or influence organizational processes that pertain across large numbers of individuals, such as in marketing, credit risk assessment, fraud detection, manufacturing, healthcare, and government operations including law enforcement.

FWIW, Gunning fog index of 40 (where 12 is considered appropriate for a wide audience). 1 sentence, 66 words, 22 words with three syllables or more. The glaze-over factor is so high, I don't think it contributes much. Many sardines, impervious can. — [[user:MaxEnt|MaxEnt]] 02:08, 2 February 2017 (UTC)
== suggestion to add an application and intro change ==
I own www.shigroupchina.com so I have COI
I think it might be more neutral to add a note to [small data] in the intro.
===Recruiting===
Recruiting involves the ability to predict the future success of a person to be hired. Some companies have developed [small data] solutions in specific areas that are when analyzed, predictive for a good hire. <ref>http://blog.shigroupchina.com/2016/03/22/predictive-analytics-recruiting</ref>

Dear BustYourMyth,
Your activity is quite suspiciase: registration of the user just to delete the mention of the one popular article. Peaple from different contries with the positive hystory of Wikipedia improvement are taking place in removing of your commits as well as in providing information about "Decision Stream".
Kind regards,

IMO the sentence that is in there is a vague say-nothing sentence and no we're presented with general references to books /papers insert to support it.
