Nothing is more important to the future of predictive analytics teams than proving their projects have long-term value. Measuring the return on investment (ROI) often can help turn analytics into a visible profit center for your organization. Estimating ROI early—before a project even begins—can also help fast-track approval. Here Keith McCormick shows how to address ROI both before and after the predictive model is built. Learn how to create your estimate before the project starts by estimating the overall size of the problem, assigning value to possible outcomes, and judging the impact of model performance. Keith then shows a different method for calculating ROI after the model is built, during the evaluation and deployment phases, and provides tips for the ongoing monitoring of the project. He also takes a retrospective look assessed one year after model deployment. These two strategies will give you the data you need to get buy-in for your projects and provide ongoing metrics on their performance.
Topics include:
- Review the components of successful analytics in estimating and ensuring ROI.
- Identify types of statistical errors.
- Apply the confusion matrix to business decisions.
- Describe the reasoning in setting propensity score cutoff levels.
- Examine the process of monitoring predictive models.

Business analytics allows us to learn from the past and make better predictions for the future. There are three types of analytics used for learning from the past. Descriptive analytics summarizes historical data; exploratory analytics uncovers hidden patterns; and explanatory analytics reveals the reasons for business results. Each type encompasses a different set of tools, technologies, processes, and best practices to derive insights from data. This course by Kumaran Ponnambalam explains why they matter and how and when to use them. He starts by setting the context for business analytics and its various stages. You then explore the stages that focus on the past: descriptive, exploratory, and explanatory. With each stage, you learn about the processes, techniques, and best practices used in the field. Finally, you walk through a use case (the results of an email marketing campaign) that demonstrates how analysis is performed at each stage.
Topics include:
- Recall the data sources utilized in business analytics.
- Explain potential problems with having an excessive number of metrics and reports when conducting descriptive analytics.
- Identify the questions each type of business analytics is intended to answer.
- Recognize the appropriate type of business analytics given a scenario.
- Describe the business analytics that can be used with various types of data.
- Determine next steps after completing an analysis.
