Changing a Lightbulb with a Hammer: Predictive Analytics with Machine Learning

Machine Learning (ML) isn’t so mystical after all. Machine Learning is a new term that re-packages well-established statistical techniques that have been around for decades. Machine Learning reacts to new information by learning. The “learning” happens by observing the past—sometimes the very recent past. Machine Learning can deliver on the promise of self-adjusting algorithms that […]
