:::Yes, I agree. I plan to improve the [[forecasting]] article, and will then make a more explicit reference to forecasting from the predictive analytics page. [[User:Apdevries|Apdevries]] 21:51, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
::::I see that this is an old discussion, and I see that these two articles have not been merged. However, I still think that it might be valuable for me to articulate why I think these two articles should not be merged. The term forecasting is usually used to describe situations in which the thing being forecasted involves the specification of a projected series of data: multiple points in time, often with trends and seasonal patterns. The prototypical analytic technique is ARIMA modeling. However, the term predictive modeling is usually used to describe situations in which the thing being predicted is a behavior or event. Examples of this are predicting who someone will vote for in a specific election, whether or not a person will respond to a direct marketing offer, or the size of the donation a person will make to charity.[[User:Krexer|Karl]] ([[User talk:Krexer|talk]]) 22:11, 7 December 2012 (UTC)
==Notable commercial predictive analytic tool vendors include==
I suggest removing this section as being too far off topic, and instead just list tools, being sure to include entries from all the listed vendors. If there's no article about the specific tool(s) the currently listed vendor produces, link to the vendor's article or relevant subsection of the article. --[[User:Ronz|Ronz]] ([[User talk:Ronz|talk]]) 18:34, 8 December 2012 (UTC)
:Good idea. I agree. I think a list of tools will be better than a list of the companies that created the tools. I know this industry space, so I can make this edit within the next 2 days.[[User:Krexer|Karl]] ([[User talk:Krexer|talk]]) 19:04, 8 December 2012 (UTC)
::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.
