4 Reasons Why Data Scientists Should Add Mathematical Optimization to Their Analytics Toolbox

 

Today’s data scientists need to have a full analytics toolbox at their disposal. But which tools do they actually need?

In addition to machine learning, visualization, heuristics, and other common tools, mathematical optimization is becoming an essential technology for more and more data scientists.

With a full set of analytics tools including mathematical optimization, data scientists can maximize the business value of their data–by using it make accurate predictions and optimal decisions

Indeed, mathematical optimization is a powerful prescriptive analytics technology that should be included in every data scientist’s analytics toolbox. Read this new management paper to find out why.

Powerful

Mathematical Optimization technologies are powerful, fast and easy to use.

Complementary

Machine learning enables you to generate predictions, optimization empowers you to make decisions.

Accurate

Mathematical optimization can be used to improve the accuracy of machine learning-based predictions.

Predictable
