Predictive Analytics For Marketers

Analytical data can tell us a lot about past performance and trends, but what if we could predict future trends? Predictive marketing is the key to using our data to gain understanding of how things may look in the future. Predictive Analytics For Marketers is a wonderful guide to harnessing the power of this powerful new business tool.

This book is for the marketers that work directly with IT departments and data scientists to build predictive models. While it quickly covers why you’d want to use this style of analytics, it’s much more about the ‘how’.

Reading Predictive Analytics For Marketers requires a great understanding of analytical data, math formulas, and using data to drive decisions. You can’t be scared by formulas like h(t, x, b) = h0 (t) × r(x, b) or ln(D) = c + PE * ln(P) + b1 * x1 + b2 * x2 + … + bn * xn, which appear throughout the book.

While specific tools aren’t covered, Predictive Analytics For Marketers arms you with the tools you need to harness the insights your data provides and build a powerful program for better business understanding.
