What is Predictive Analytics?
Predictive analytics is the process of discovering patterns in past behavior to predict the outcome of future cases. Drawing on a combination of computer science, statistics, and operations research, predictive analytics reduces fraud, waste, and abuse, automates manual processes, and drives smarter decisions by extracting actionable insights from the vast quantities of data within government agencies.
Case Studies
PAW-GOV covers today's deployment of predictive analytics, data mining, and text mining across government agencies and across software vendors. This year, we hope to build off of last year's success to bring you an even more impressive lineup of case studies from application areas of analytics in the Public Sector including:
Accountability Analytics:
