Asking the Right Business Questions

Successful analytic organization must focus on the right questions, those that help make the right decision and provide a competitive edge:

Who are the most profitable/desirable customers?

Which clients are we more likely to lose?

What has been sold and where?

What should be our pricing and advertising strategy?

How my markets have evolved through time?

Have we reduced in-process inventories ?

Were there major production disruptions? Why ?

Introduction to Next Generation Business Intelligence with Automated

Analytics Mode in SAP Predictive Analytics

INTRODUCING PREDICTIVE ANALYTICS (AUTOMATED MODE) – FORMERLY INFINITEINSIGHT

Predictive Analytics

formerly KXEN InfiniteInsight, joined SAP in 2013

uses very specific methods to address a set of

well defined problems, often related to Specific

Industries or Lines of Business.

In 2015 SAP Predictive Analysis and SAP

InfiniteInsight solutions were combined to create

SAP Predictive Analytics

Predictive Analytics (Automated Mode) consists of the

following modules

Classification/Regression

Clustering

Time Series Analytics

Association Rules

Social Network Analytics

Recommender Models

The Technology behind Automated Mode in Predictive Analytics

Automated Mode Algorithms in SAP Predictive

Analytics uses a modelling procedure based on

Structural Risk Minimization, first proposed by Vapnik

in 1974

Here a statistical learning procedure is used which

selects a model that minimizes the upper bound on

test error.

This has the result of accomplishing generalizability

while avoiding over fitting a model on a training data

set. In other words it deliberately trades off some

predictive power to create models that are more robust

and work for new data.

Vapnik, V.N., and A. Ya. Chervonenkis, 1974. Teoriya Raspoznavaniya Obrazov:

Statisticheskie Problemy Obucheniya. (Russian) [Theory of Pattern Recognition:

Statistical Problems of Learning]. Moscow: Nauka.
