Predictive Analytics 101

As the network moves toward virtualization, mastering predictive analytics is becoming an even greater necessity for service providers. Predictive analytics transforms raw data into meaningful metrics using techniques like data mining to unravel historical data and predict future challenges and opportunities. Predictive modeling can help operators better prepare for future trends in automation, SDN, NFV, machine-to-machine learning (M2M) and more. This course will examine different modeling techniques telcos use for predictive analytics, and how the move toward network virtualization and 5G is shaping approaches to predictive analytics.
