Predictive models learn patterns in training data and use that information to predict target values for new data. There are two data sets at play in this process, the training data and the scoring or inference data. The model will work well in production (i.e., produce accurate predictions in line with expectations) when the new inference data is similar to the training data.

Incentive Trips: These two words provoke vastly different feelings from different people. Traditionally, incentive trips were exclusively for sales people and executives.

I still remember my college days. Technology was more readily available than ever, but big data was not a thing yet. Students were not using big data to assist with their learning goals. Today, big data is vital to the learning process. A number of companies have been built solely to create big data platforms for students. Business leaders are constantly trying to come up with new ideas on how to make life simpler.
