Why Predictive Analytics
Predictive analytics consulting encompasses an array of methods that can accomplish a variety of business intelligence tasks by leveraging the data that you already have.
- Know where you’re likely to be in the future. Statistical Forecasting techniques can take your historical performance and answer those questions.
- Identify different groups of customers for targeted analysis, precision marketing, or just better understanding. Clustering and segmentation can make that happen by grouping similar customers together.
- Analyze your data to predict individual or group behavior, and quantify the risk associated with customers or acquisitions. Regression analysis can take key aspects of existing data and return meaningful, valuable, insights.
- Employ machine learning algorithms to mine your data for opportunities that you might not know you had, ensuring that you’re aware of every advantage and mitigating disadvantages.

Predictive Analytics Tools and Techniques
Predictive analytics encompasses a host of tools and techniques to achieve your specific goals and increase your knowledge.
No single predictive analytics strategy fits all circumstances, so it’s important to work with a predictive analytics consultant, such as Blast, that works hard to understand your unique objectives, requirements, and challenges. Our predictive analytics consultants collaborate closely with you to maximize the effectiveness of various tools and techniques:
Regression – Analyzing data for key elements that can be used to predict an outcome. Sometimes, it’s a “Yes-or-No” type of outcome (Will a customer make a purchase?). Other times, it’s more specific (Exactly how much will a customer spend?).
Forecasting – Reviewing historical data and using it to predict out into the future. These forecasts are the result of sophisticated statistical models that take into account trends, as well as seasonal fluctuations.
Classification – Mathematically grouping similar individuals by common characteristics, also referred to as cluster analysis. The results can be surprisingly valuable, especially when highlighting a group that may have been historically overlooked.
Machine Learning – Using data to detect patterns and adjust program actions. Wide array of business applications, from data mining for new insights, to simulation testing for website click streams, and beyond.
Text Analysis – Offering companies the opportunity to turn petabytes worth of text into predicted sentiment about a range of topics and products, including the ability to leverage social listening via social media outlets.
