"Written in a lively language, full of great quotes, real-world
examples, and case studies, it is a pleasure to read. The more
technical audience will enjoy chapters on The Ensemble Effect and
uplift modeling—both very hot trends. I highly recommend this book!"

Conferences

FOUR REASONS TO READ PREDICTIVE ANALYTICS:
1. New case studies. Find detailed stories you have never before
heard from Hewlett-Packard, Chase, and the Obama Campaign. And did you
know that John Elder once invested all his own personal money into a
blackbox stock market system of his own design? That's the opening
story of Chapter 1.
2. Complete conceptual coverage. Although packaged with catchy
chapter titles, the conceptual outline is fundamental: 1) deployment,
2) civil liberties, 3) data, 4) core modeling, 5) ensemble models, 6)
IBM's Jeopardy! -playing Watson, and 7) uplift modeling (aka net lift
or persuasion modeling).
3. A cross-industry compendium of 147 cases. This comprehensive
collection of mini-case studies serves to illustrate just how wide the
field's reach extends. A color insert includes a table for each of the
verticals: Personal Life, Marketing, Finance, Healthcare, Crime
Fighting, Reliability Modeling, Government and Nonprofit, Human
Language and Thought, and Human Resources.
4. Privacy and other civil liberty concerns. The author's treatise on
predictive analytics' ethical realm, a chapter entitled, "With Power
Come Responsibility," addresses the questions: In what ways does
predictive analytics fuel the contentious flames surrounding data
privacy, raising its already-high stakes? What civil liberty concerns
arise beyond privacy per se? What about predictive crime models that
help decide who stays in prison?
BOOK DESCRIPTION: This rich, entertaining primer by former Columbia
University professor and Predictive Analytics World founder Eric
Siegel reveals the power and perils of predictive analytics, showing
how predicting human behavior combats financial risk, fortifies
healthcare, conquers spam, toughens crime-fighting, and boosts sales.
