Explore machine learning basics and predictive modeling using past data to improve performance. Learn about supervised versus unsupervised learning and techniques like regression, classification, forecasting, and clustering with real-world examples.
Explore regression and linear regression to predict a continuous outcome from factors like car age, mileage, and brand, and store revenue from location, parking, income, and density.
Explore linear regression in predictive customer analytics by modeling store revenue from size and other predictors, and use Excel to predict revenue and interpret the slope and intercept.
Interpret how the r squared and adjusted r squared reveal how well the regression explains sales variation. Use the significance f value and p value, and Excel to predict sales.
Learn to build and interpret a linear regression model in Excel using the Analysis Toolpak, including data preprocessing, range selection, and coefficients, intercept, f-value, and p-values.
Learn how to extend customer retention by predicting churn with logistic regression and targeting high-risk customers with personalized offers, improved delivery, and restocking alerts to reduce attrition.
Explore logistic regression for churn prediction using historical customer data; apply a function that turns results into a 0–1 probability, then use a threshold to drive retention actions.
