For this milestone, you will create a pilot plan using reproducible research design techniques.

For this milestone, you will create a pilot plan using reproducible research design techniques. Specifically, address the following:
• Predictive Algorithms
o Given the specifications put forth by the business, what types of predictive algorithms may be appropriate for use? Recommend
a predictive algorithm that would be appropriate for the selective structure, interaction, and relationship specifications of your
chosen organizational data.
• Reproducible Research
o Document your predictive model design using reproducible research techniques so that others may reproduce the design in
various contexts.
o Propose a pilot plan of a predictive analytic strategy that is consistent with the organizational specifications.
Guidelines for Submission: Your paper must be submitted as a three- to five-page Microsoft Word document with double spacing, 12-point
Times New Roman font, and one-inch margins. Any citations must be formatted according to APA style.

SAMPLE SOLUTION

Rather than use the widespread direct mail technique, the Insurance Company uses more strategic approaches to market their products (Putten, 2000). The insurer has opted to improve its operations using predictive analytics, not its current technique. The current method wastes resources and time. Using various predictive models and algorithms facilitate insightful decision-making. For example, the Insurance Company can use k-means clustering algorithms, decision trees, or random forest algorithms for their customer data. Clustering data can be done by grouping all the attributes together, especially data with similar characteristics. Using decision trees facilitates visualizing the process of decision-making by figuring out possible paths to take (Williams, 2013).
Based on the problem data and the results to be acquired, the predictive algorithm type tends to vary. A structured algorithm pairing with structured data would benefit the Insurance Company since the data is relatively clean and efficient. The data available, and is provided in the insurer’s…
