Talk:Predictive analytics

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. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.27.2.186 (talk • contribs)

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. – Doug Bell ^{talk•contrib} 20:33, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

What is "Excel Miner"?

I searched google for "Excel Miner" and came up with nothing.

Merge with forecasting?

I propose a merger with forecasting. Predictive analytics is the more complete article, but I think forecasting is the term that is more likely to be searched for. Apdevries 20:54, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

I totally agree with you. KT Forecast Manager 4 September 2006

I took a look at forecasting and I think you guys are probably right.CommodiCast 19:48, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
