Banks Mine Data and Pitch to Troubled Borrowers

By BRAD STONE



Brenda Jerez hardly seems like the kind of person lenders would fight over.





Three years ago, she became ill with cancer and ran up $50,000 on her credit cards after she was forced to leave her accounting job. She filed for bankruptcy protection last year.





For months after she emerged from insolvency last fall, 6 to 10 new credit card and auto loan offers arrived… Continue

Web Analytics is Business Intelligence

I had a chance to participate an eye opener (at least for me) event, Affecto's Business Intelligence Forum 2008. In my mind, there's no question about it whether the web analytics is business intelligence or not. I don't see any reason why these two fields should be developed separately in the future. Read more about web analytics is business intelligence...

The Democratization of Analytics - Microsoft Project Gemini

Last week I attended the Microsoft BI Conference. I learned about project Gemini. This project will allow analytics power users in companies to use Excel to do powerful analytics, while simultaneously allowing collaboration among all stakeholders using PerformancePoint. It allows Excel to load over 100 million rows (and about 6 columns) in just a few seconds and then create interactive pivot tables. They are still working on calculations but the demonstration was powerful. If you see Ted… Continue

Meta-analysis "how to"

I am working on a paper right now where meta-analysis is a key element. Here is an excerpt from the methods section. The equations didnt copy so I used some short hand notation instead.

The goal is to estimate the reporting rate (p^) of electronic tags using success/failure as reported in 53 journal articles as data.





We analyzed the PSAT reporting rates using re-sampling methods (Efron 1979, 1988; Efron and Tibshirani, 1986; Manly, 2001; Gurevitch and Hedges, 1999). We… Continue

Qualitative data analysis and the future of intelligence

Qualitative data analysis intrigues me. Mining the internet and the deepnet for intelligence on critical issues is the holy grail of competitive intelligence, and other forms of intelligence analysis. Traditionally, an intelligence analyst (humint) is required for serious research.… Continue

Grill Cheese..... Pleaassseeeeee!

Starting a career search is a process. It should be a short one. But with the economy at some strange turn, there are more job seekers. Competition seems higher.



Dating-to-marriage a lot more complicated than the many claims that I've heard. And not being a married woman, I have no other choice but to be career-orient. The career-hunt has become more challenging.



Since graduation from Nyack College, I hired two (2) agencies for assistance (The Barrett Group and Global… Continue

The Importance of Breakfast

Breakfast is the first meal of the day for the majorities around the globe. I have read studies that prove eating breakfast assists in a higher performance at school and/or work. It fills your body with fuel to get through the day successfully. And it's been proven that breakfast fuel keeps people thinner. Breakfast is a body regulator that allows the metabolism to properly function.



And guess what else?



Even if I'm not prepared to sit down and eat breakfast, I'll take it… Continue
