Introduction to
Predictive Analytics
Making future predictions about unknown events with the help of techniques from data
mining, statistics, machine learning, math modeling, and artificial intelligence is known
as predictive analytics.
For example, predicting sales of an item (say flowers) in a market for a particular day. If it is
valentines day, the sales of roses would be high! We can easily say that the sales of flowers
would be higher on festive days than on regular days.
The insights from the data include patterns, the relationship among different factors that
might be previously unknown.
Why Predictive Analytics?
1 Data Collection
Understanding the different sources of data and how to collect relevant information
is crucial for the success of predictive analytics.
2 Real-World Application
By predicting future outcomes, businesses can make more informed decisions,
optimize processes, and gain a competitive edge in the market.
3 Marketing
Businesses utilize predictive analytics to optimize marketing campaigns, personalize
customer experiences, and drive sales growth.

Steps for Predictive Analytics
Data Preprocessing
Prepare the dataset by cleaning, transforming, and normalizing it for analysis.
Model Development
Develop and train predictive models using algorithms such as regression,
classification, and clustering.

Challenges & Considerations
2. Overfitting
1. Data Quality - Use regularization techniques or feature selection
- Implement data cleaning techniques such as handling missing methods in machine learning models to prevent overfitting
values and outliers to ensure the quality of input data. and enhance generalization.
3. Model Interpretability:
- Utilize model interpretability tools or techniques like Partial
Dependence Plots (PDP):values for explaining model predictions
to stakeholders. PDPs show the relationship between a feature
and the predicted outcome while keeping other features constant.
They help in understanding the effect of a single variable on the
model's prediction.
