Wednesday, November 11. 2009Analytic truths or analytic myths?
Over at The Data Mining Research blog, Sandro posted a link to the presentations from a recent SAS Forum Switzerland. While browsing the presentation slides, I came across this great list of questions from a UBS presentation by Daniel Rüegge, Head of Business and Client Analytics.
Daniel calls these the top 10 paradigms in analytics to be questioned and asks, "Are they true? Are they of help? How do you apply them?" What do you think? Which of the ten are true, and which are complete myths?
