Predictive Modeling

Predictive models are the mainstay of data driven decision making. The focus lies on establishing a mathematical equation as a model to represent the interactions between the different variables in consideration, and use them to predict or score customer behavior.

Multivariate Solutions employs a wide variety of models that can be applied to perform predictive analytics. Some of them are listed below:

  • Linear Regression Model
  • Discriminant Analysis
  • Discrete Choice Models
  • Logistic Regression
  • Multinomial Logistic Regression
  • Probit Regression
  • Time Series Models
  • CHAID Classification Trees
  • Structural Equations Models

Regression Analysis Positioning uses the most common predictive analytic method to distinguish between two types of customer and maximizes how to communicate to each.

Finding Supporters – Political Predictive Analytics uses a regression technique to target potential supporters for candidate Liz Anderson’s bid for Congress.

Measuring and Using Employee Satisfaction, a piece that illustrates ‘Within human resources the dependent variable should not only be defined by the HR goals of the employer … It should also include an evaluation of the impact on customer satisfaction,’ outlines a data-driven method to predict which attitudes will lower employee turnover.

Donor Predictive CHAID Tree uses a classification tree method to box in most-likely donors to a political party.

Campaigns and Elections – What is Driving the Vote? describes the successful employment of regression analysis to determine voter motives.

Predictive Regression Analysis explains how to employ the widely used and robust predictive technique made famous in Ian Ayres’ seminal work, SuperCrunchers.

A cross tabulation (often abbreviated as cross tab) displays the joint distribution of two or more variables. They are usually presented as a contingency table in a matrix format, often with each survey question in the stub, and banners to be analyzed across the top.

Our tabulations are delivered in Microsoft Word so that our clients are not required to purchase additional cross-tabulation software. We also provide open-ended coding services.
