STATISTICA Blogs

Last week, StatSoft representatives, Gary Miner and Rob Eames, participated in the Predictive Analytics World (PAW) conference in the Washington D.C. area (Alexandria, VA).  The PAW event has become the largest conference on business applications of predictive modeling, focusing on talks about applying predictive modeling to business objectives such as fraud, customer segmentation, response modeling and optimization, etc.  Gary and Rob report that the current buzz from show attendees is:

Deployment of Models for Scoring.  Attendees were very interested in the STATISTICA Live Score solution for the utilization of predictive models across various lines of business applications.  Attendees asked repeatedly “How do we take the models we build on historical data and utilize them ongoing for marketing applications, customer service applications, and other applications?”  The answer from StatSoft is the STATISTICA Live Score solution for complete management and utilization of predictive models, completely integrated with a company’s data sources and other line of business applications.

Text Mining.  What was once an emerging application area of predictive modeling appears to be maturing.  More and more attendees are interested in utilizing their textual data (claims reports, customer service emails, archives of Web chats, etc.) to improve their predictive modeling across a variety of applications.  More details about STATISTICA for text mining applications are found with the STATISTICA Text Miner  product page on StatSoft.com.
