Entity Analytics Available in Modeler Premium

What is Entity Analytics?
An entity could be an individual, vehicle, vessel etc
Entity Analytics enables an organization to resolve like entities, even when they
do not share key values ,eg ID number (also called Identity Resolution or Entity
Resolution)
The data can come from multiple sources or just one source
The matching technique enables even the weakest connections to be
discovered
The result is more accurate analytics, based on correctly resolved entities.
How Does Entity Analytics work?
Underlying technical breakthrough known as context accumulation.
Can get more accurate and faster as data sets grow
Out of the box it is ready for processing people, organizations, and vehicles
Users can easily add new entities and new features, without having to train the
system or add elaborate rules.

Entity Analytics uses Context Accumulation to Find Deeper

Churn Prediction

Group characteristics can influence churn rates

Focus on individuals in groups with an increased risk of churn
Identify individuals that are at risk of churning due to the flow of info from those that
already churned.

Leveraging Group Leaders

Group leaders are highly influential over other group members

Prevent a group leader from churning to decrease the churn rate for other group
members
Acquire a group leader from a competitor to increase the churn rate that group.

Marketing

Use Group leaders to initiate new goods or service offerings.

Social Network Analysis

Processes CDR (Call Data Record) data from Telecommunications companies

Identifies groups, leaders and probabilities that others will churn based on
influence
Enhances existing churn predictions of Modeler
Expressed as two new nodes in the Sources Palette
Group Analysis: identify the groups in the data and who are the leaders of
them
Diffusion Analysis: use existing churn information to determine who else that
churner is likely to influence to leave

Introduction to Decision Optimization

Mathematical Models that find

balance between conflicting goals
(maximizing revenues, creating
efficiency) and resource
constraints

Decision Optimization

Decision Optimization Applications in SPSS Modeler Gold

Why not just stick with Optimization capabilities in SPSS Modeler?
3 Optimization applications (CPLEX)
Campaign Optimization
Demand Optimization
Predictive Maintenance
2 Prioritization applications (non-CPLEX)
Customer Interaction
Claims Management

Why Decision Optimization beyond Modeler Gold?

Widens possible use cases that can be addressed
Adds a sophistication that an increasingly complex business
landscape needs
Optimization problems get larger and more complex
Big problems need sophisticated optimization capabilities
Open source is not a serious alternative (eg 1s vs 20 min
for solving same problem)

What is Decision Optimization?

How to best allocate

aircrafts and crews?

Optimization helps businesses:

What to build,
where and when?

Inventory cost vs.

customer satisfaction

create the best possible plans

explore alternatives and understand trade-off
respond to changes in business operations

Risk vs. potential reward

Cost vs.carbon
emission

From Predictive to Prescriptive The Next Step

Predictive

Prescriptive

What COULD happen?

What SHOULD happen?

With the forecasted data,
where should I place my
inventory? How much safety
stock do I need?

Consumer
Goods

Based on the history of

product sales, what will be my
sales forecast for the next
month?

Retail

Based on the history of

customer purchasing data, will
you be able to predict what
items will interest them?

What items should I place in

which stores? What
campaigns would be best to
promote those items? How
do I minimize discounts?

Manufacturing

Based on the history of

machine data, will you be able
to predict when your machine
might breakdown?

Using the predicted machine

breakdown data to conduct
preventive maintenance, do you
know the best times to schedule
these? (Demand, inventory, etc..)

Statistical Analysis & Modeling Feed Predictive Analytics

Statistics Approach

Modeling Approach

Statistical approach involves

forming a theory about a
possible relationship
converting it to a
hypothesis
testing that hypothesis
using statistical methods
It is a manual, user-driven, topdown approach to data analysis

Data mining involves

the interrogation of the
data
determined by the method
and goal, rather than by
the user
It is a data-driven, selforganizing, bottom-up approach
to data analysis that works on
very large data sets

Note that Both Approaches Drive Predictive Analytics

Integration of Modeler and Statistics

IBM SPSS Statistics Palette within Modeler

Allows Statistics models, transformations, output and syntax within the Modeler
GUI
Statistics dialog boxes for consistency
Uses Statistics in the background to run analysis from the Modeler interface
One way integration i.e. Statistics can be used within Modeler, but not vice versa
Requires a Statistics license for the procedures
