摘要:In the recent years, analyzing shopping baskets turned out to be very appealing to retailers. Sophisticatedtechnology made it possible for them to collect information of their customers and what they purchase. Theintroduction of electronic point-of-sale expanded the utilization and application of transactional data in Market BasketAnalysis (MBA). In retail business, analyzing such information is exceedingly valuable for understanding purchasingbehavior. Mining purchasing patterns allows retailers to adjust promotions, store settings and serve consumers better.Predictive analysis is an advanced branch of data engineering which generally predicts some occurrence or probabilitybased on data. Predictive analytics uses data-mining techniques in order to make predictions about future events, andmake recommendations based on these predictions. The process involves an analysis of historic data and based on thatanalysis to predict the future occurrences or events. A model can be created to predict using Predictive Analyticsmodelling techniques. The form of these predictive models varies depending on the data they are using. PredictiveAnalytics is composed of various statistical & analytical techniques used to develop models that will predict futureoccurrence, events or probabilities. Predictive analytics is able to not only deal with continuous changes, butdiscontinuous changes as well. Classification, prediction, and to some extent, affinity analysis constitute the analyticalmethods employed in predictive analytics.
