Hello.

2
00:00:05,490 --> 00:00:08,760
This week we'll be discussing
the application of analytics

3
00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:11,820
into very different
areas-- the Supreme Court

4
00:00:11,820 --> 00:00:13,740
and health care cost prediction.

5
00:00:13,740 --> 00:00:15,850
In the first lecture,
we'll discuss

6
00:00:15,850 --> 00:00:18,960
how the decisions of the
United States Supreme Court

7
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:23,510
can be predicted before the
case even gets to the court.

8
00:00:23,510 --> 00:00:26,060
In the second lecture,
we'll discuss the story

9
00:00:26,060 --> 00:00:30,500
of D2Hawkeye, a medical
data-mining company I have been

10
00:00:30,500 --> 00:00:33,000
involved with for
several years that

11
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:35,320
use analytics to gain an edge.

12
00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:37,990
Through these examples,
we'll introduce the method

13
00:00:37,990 --> 00:00:41,260
of classification and regression
trees, a very interpretable

14
00:00:41,260 --> 00:00:42,700
analytics method.

15
00:00:42,700 --> 00:00:44,710
Let's get started.
