How do we forecast using analytics?
About this Live Session
Forecasting what is going to happen in the future is usually difficult, but often necessary. In this session, we will first take a look at how weather forecasting is done using satellite and other meteorological data. We will then look at equations that model and predict the course of epidemics, such as the one we are going through now. Lastly, we will look at financial markets and see how predictable they should be, and how predictable they are. From algorithmic trading to climate change, we will see glimpses of how data and technology are changing the art and science of forecasting.
