About This Course

Predictive analytics is all about foreseeing the future and making smarter and faster business decisions. Business analytics is often characterized by three levels/echelons representing the hierarchical nature of the term—descriptive, predictive, and prescriptive. Organizations usually start with descriptive analytics, then move into predictive analytics, and finally reach prescriptive analytics. Learn predictive analytics with uCertify's course Predictive analytics: Data Mining, Machine Learning, and Data Science for Practitioners. The course has well descriptive interactive lessons containing pre and post-assessment questions, knowledge checks, quizzes, flashcards, and glossary terms to get a detailed understanding of predictive analytics.
