“Predictive analytics models are only as good as the data that goes into them,” notes Heather Lewis, Solutions Manager for Data as a Service at LexisNexis. In this mini-webinar now available on demand, Heather discusses the critical role data plays in predictive analytics—and reveals the most pressing questions you should ask any potential data vendor to ensure you’re getting the greater context needed to unlock actionable insights.
