Answer to Question 1

Broadly speaking, predictive analytics refers to linking computerized data sources to statistical tools that can search for predictive relationships and trends which allow more accurate prediction of consumers' opinions and actions. Software companies like SPSS and SAS offer products that both look for data and then use statistical tools to reveal key predictive relationships. A marketing researcher's job in predictive analytics is twofold: (1) identify the key sources of information that may create predictive intelligence and (2) use analytic tools to build predictive models.
