Defination
• Predictive Analytics use mathematical and statistical
means to evaluate historical data patterns in order to
make predictions about future behavior
• Predictive models are often embedded in processes to
assist in making real-time decisions about individual
customer transactions such as when to secure an account
with a deposit or when to disconnect for non-payment
• Predictive analytics also helps identify characteristics of
customers such as what a risky customer looks like or what
a fraudulent transaction looks like etc.
• Quick decisions need to be made while balancing
many variables
• You know what your customers have done in the past
but you don’t know what they will do in the future
• Making bad decisions is costly, making good
decisions is rewarding
• You need a consistent decision process
• You deal with a large number of rules that guide or
influence your decision making.
