| Summary |
16+ Hours of Video Instruction Predictive and Prescriptive Analytics (Video Collection) brings a holistic, approachable, and best practice-driven learning experience to predictive and prescriptive analytics. It gives direct Instruction in the Foundations, Methods, Applications, and Best Practices to the highest pillars of business analytics. This master class includes the following courses: Predictive Analytics, 2nd Edition, LiveLessons Prescriptive Analytics for Optimal Decision-Making LiveLessons Overview Updated and revamped, Predictive Analytics LiveLessons, 2nd Edition provides comprehensive (yet easy-to-digest) coverage of business analytics concepts, applications, methods, and tools, with a special emphasis on predictive modeling and analysis. Over the course of the eight lessons, you will learn fundamental concepts, methods, and algorithms of business analytics and data mining, as well as their application areas and best practices. You also learn how to use a variety of software tools (both commercial as well as free/open source) and how to use those tools to discover knowledge from a wide variety of data sources. At the end of the course, you will not only know what predictive analytics is and what it can do for an organization but also develop basic skills to practice predictive analytics using numerous tools and platforms, most of which are free and open source. The course is designed to provide thorough coverage of the underlying concepts and definitions of predictive analytics in order to demystify the concepts and terminology of these popular evidence-based managerial decisioning trends and then help build hands-on skills with the most popular analytics tools and platforms using intuitive examples and data sets. Prescriptive Analytics for Optimal Decision-Making LiveLessons is designed and developed to provide comprehensive coverage of the underlying concepts and definitions of business analytics, and specifically prescriptive analytics, in order to clarify the confusion about the already crowded terminology and buzzwords for these popular evidence-based managerial decisioning trends. Prescriptive analytics are where the optimal decisions are made, often based on the information provided by descriptive and predictive analytics layers. The lesson structure in this course provides a natural progression of the foundational concepts, methods, and methodologies of prescriptive analytics as well as their application areas, the best practices, a variety of software tools, and how to use those tools to identify the best decision for a given, often overly complex, real-world problem. Based on this foundational understanding, the course builds hands-on skills with a variety of popular prescriptive analytics tools and platforms (including Microsoft Excel) using intuitive examples and simplified data sets. The key idea is to build both awareness and in-depth understanding of prescriptive analytics best practices through intuitive, visual, and hands-on applications and case studies.
