It reinvents industries and runs the world. Companies, governments, law enforcement, hospitals, and universities are seizing upon the power. These institutions predict whether youre going to click, buy, lie, or die.Why? For good reason: predicting human behavior combats risk, boosts sales, fortifies healthcare, streamlines manufacturing, conquers spam, optimizes social networks, toughens crime fighting, and wins elections.How? Prediction is powered by the worlds most potent, flourishing unnatural resource: data. Accumulated in large part as the by-product of routine tasks, data is the unsalted, flavorless residue deposited en masse as organizations churn away. Surprise! This heap of refuse is a gold mine. Big data embodies an extraordinary wealth of experience from which to learn.Predictive analytics(aka machine learning) unleashes the power of data. With this technology, the computer literally learns from data how to predict the future behavior of individuals. Perfect prediction is not possible, but putting odds on the future drives millions of decisions more effectively, determining whom to call, mail, investigate, incarcerate, set up on a date, or medicate.In this lucid, captivating introduction — now in its Revised and Updated edition — former Columbia University professor and Predictive Analytics World founder Eric Siegel reveals the power and perils of prediction: What type of mortgage risk Chase Bank predicted before the recession.Predicting which people will drop out of school, cancel a subscription, or get divorced before they even know it themselves.Why early retirement predicts a shorter life expectancy and vegetarians miss fewer flights.Five reasons why organizations predict death — including one health insurance company.How U.S. Bank and Obama for America calculated the way to most strongly persuade each individual.Why the NSA wants all your data: machine learning supercomputers to fight terrorism.How IBMs Watson computer used predictive modeling to answer questions and beat the human champs on TVs Jeopardy!How companies ascertain untold, private truths — how Target figures out youre pregnant and Hewlett-Packard deduces youre about to quit your job.How judges and parole boards rely on crime-predicting computers to decide how long convicts remain in prison.182 examples from Airbnb, the BBC, Citibank, ConEd, Facebook, Ford, Google, the IRS, LinkedIn, Match.com, MTV, Netflix, PayPal, Pfizer, Spotify, Uber, UPS, Wikipedia, and more.
