Operationally Actionable Output

Albert Einstein is quoted as saying, “most of the fundamental ideas of science are essentially simple, and may, as a rule, be expressed in a language comprehensible to everyone.” Everything that comes before means nothing in applied data mining and predictive analysis unless it can be translated directly into the operational setting and used for decision support. The ability to translate the analytical products from the data mining process directly into the operational environment holds the promise for significantly enhancing situational awareness, guiding information-based decisions, and ultimately changing outcomes. Unfortunately, analytical output, particularly output generated by advanced modeling techniques, ...
