Time Series and its application in Predictive Analytics

Time Series Foundation (TSF) is an open, .NET platform for exploring and  prototyping new algorithms in time series analysis and forecasting. TSF  is based on state space model methodology that includes all types of  exponential smoothing, some autoregressive algorithms, and innovative  algorithms for event detection and calendar event impact prediction. TSF  relies on Excel charting and presentation APIs by implementing an Excel  interop layer. Numerical and graphical results of time series analysis  and forecasting can be put in programmatically generated workbooks with  the help of this layer. TSF also offers an Excel add-in that exposes a  large subset of the platform's functionality through the Excel ribbon  UI. <br /><br /><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><iframe allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" frameborder="0" height="266" mozallowfullscreen="mozallowfullscreen" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/qpr4tLPiAo0?feature=player_embedded" webkitallowfullscreen="webkitallowfullscreen" width="320"></iframe><br />Time Series Foundation is discussed by a research developer in Microsoft.</div>

Benefits from BI in Hospitality

Every Business today take advantages of Business Intelligence solutions, so Hospitality is one of them.<br />I tried to spot the most important benefits that hospitality industry has from Business Intelligence:<br /><br /><br />- Profile Guest & Business Segments by any combination of criteria. Break out, analyze and compare these segments on demographics, stay patterns, etc.<br /><br />- Identify your best guests & uncover those with the highest potential for additional nights or services<br /><br />- Perform Drill Down & Side-By-Side Analysis or filter on any variable with no limitations to “dimensions” and no cubes to rebuild<br /><br />- Compare alternative target segments or multiple characteristics side-by-side, even if they overlap<br /><br />- Track Performance across time: Guests, Return Rate, Length of Stay, Frequency, Recency, Room Rate, upgrades, etc. Track by: Division, Product Line, Guest<br /><br />Segment, Booking Source/Channel, Geography/Property…any variable on file<br /><br />- Identify Challenges & Opportunities to quickly spot where your business or guest segments are excelling or under-performing. Monitor changes and easily drill down to see the factors driving this performance<br /><br />- Access Executive Dashboards tailored for at-a-glance & measuring performance, right at the fingertips of managers across your organization

BI in Hospitality

Success in the increasingly competitive hospitality industry is dependent on prompt knowledge of what’s going on in the operation. The need to know customer information: who they are, what they buy, and how likely they are to come back again, can be elusive. Additionally, the time-sensitive nature of business metrics makes it difficult to answer certain questions such as: What are daily sales results on an individual property? What are the average expenses per day? What are labor costs? What is the daily cash position? The sheer volume and time-sensitive nature of events in the hospitality industry can be overwhelming. Hence information becomes the essential ingredient to success in the hospitality industry.<br /><br /><br />A Business Intelligence solution enables analysis by exception and gives decision-makers of multi-location organizations a robust way to decipher and analyze information gathered at each level. BI tool helps aggregate, process and visualize data from disparate sources, multiple applications, allows decision-makers to quickly identify and address trends or potential problems. BI enables decision-makers to move from speculative decision-making to fact-based decision-making based on knowledge.<br /><br />Business intelligence is simply the people, processes, and technologies that turn data into information. It is the key strategic opportunity for successful hospitality corporations.<br /><br />Information Challenges in Hospitality Industry:<br /><br />- Enormous amounts of data in multiple, disparate systems makes single enterprise wide view becomes challenge<br /><br />- Revenue management is dynamic and constantly changing resulting complexity in pricing optimization and forecasting strategies<br /><br />- Tremendous challenge in meeting customers’ expectations and preferences due to constant pressure of capturing, analyzing, and creating the right message / offer using the right medium and at the right time<br /><br />Why BI:<br /><br />- Essential tool for protecting market share<br /><br />- Identifying unproductive rate strategies<br /><br />- Uncovering new revenue opportunities<br /><br />- Beat the competition<br /><br />- Dynamic MIS & ad-hoc Reports to understand your current market position<br /><br />- Illuminate future performance trends<br /><br />- Compile detailed picture of competitive environment (who is traveling & from where)<br /><br />

Big Data, the amazing thing

Big data is a term applied to data sets whose size is beyond the  ability of commonly used software tools to capture, manage, and process  the data within a tolerable elapsed time. Big data sizes are a  constantly moving target currently ranging from a few dozen terabytes to  many petabytes of data in a single data set.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoqJ-P0p9NWGVcON1FNC3rza_xCu-0UdDnYj39aDhXDqnFl7fZRWSO00KqC1j0kyb-scJ-hMwOLU_dLILSkEFe6kPgkZZ625u46dlpOYbKOHFDPLwtkqLGieh6GhO9OBpCv0WNoSF-KJq3/s1600/Big+Data.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoqJ-P0p9NWGVcON1FNC3rza_xCu-0UdDnYj39aDhXDqnFl7fZRWSO00KqC1j0kyb-scJ-hMwOLU_dLILSkEFe6kPgkZZ625u46dlpOYbKOHFDPLwtkqLGieh6GhO9OBpCv0WNoSF-KJq3/s320/Big+Data.jpg" width="320" /></a>In a 2001 research report<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-14"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_data#cite_note-14">[15]</a></sup> and related conference presentations, then <a class="mw-redirect" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/META_Group" title="META Group">META Group</a> (now <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gartner" title="Gartner">Gartner</a>)  analyst, Doug Laney, defined data growth challenges (and opportunities)  as being three-dimensional, i.e. increasing volume (amount of data),  velocity (speed of data in/out), and variety (range of data types,  sources). Gartner continues to use this model for describing big data.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><i> </i><br />Whether through blogs, twitter, or technical articles, you’ve  probably heard about Big Data, and a recognition that organizations need  to look beyond the traditional databases to achieve the most cost  effective storage and processing of extremely large data sets,  unstructured data, and/or data that comes in too fast. As the prevalence  and importance of such data increases, many organizations are looking  at how to leverage technologies such as those in the Apache Hadoop  ecosystem. Recognizing one size doesn’t fit all, we began detailing our approach to Big Data  at the PASS Summit last October. Microsoft’s goal for Big Data is to  provide insights to all users from structured or unstructured data of  any size. While very scalable, accommodating, and powerful, most Big  Data solutions based on Hadoop require highly trained staff to deploy  and manage. In addition, the benefits are limited to few highly  technical users who are as comfortable programming their requirements as  they are using advanced statistical techniques to extract value. For  those of us who have been around the BI industry for a few years, this  may sound similar to the early 90s where the benefits of our field were  limited to a few within the corporation through the <i>Executive</i> Information Systems.<br /><h3> Analysis on Hadoop for Everyone</h3>Microsoft entered the Business Intelligence industry to enable orders  of magnitude more users to make better decisions from applications they  use every day. This was the motivation behind being the first DBMS  vendor to include an OLAP engine with the release of SQL Server 7.0 OLAP  Services that enabled Excel users to ask business questions at the  speed of thought. It remained the motivation behind <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/bi/default.aspx">PowerPivot</a> in SQL Server 2008 R2, a self-service BI offering that allowed end  users to build their own solutions without dependence on IT, as well as  provided IT insights on how data was being consumed within the  organization. And, with the release of <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/sqlserver/en/us/future-editions/SQL-Server-2012-breakthrough-insight.aspx">Power View</a> in SQL Server 2012, that goal will bring the power of rich interactive  exploration directly in the hands of every user within an organization.<br />Enabling end users to merge data stored in a Hadoop deployment with  data from other systems or with their own personal data is a natural  next step. In fact, we also introduced Hive ODBC driver, currently in  Community Technology Preview, at the PASS Summit in October. This driver  allows connectivity to <a href="http://hive.apache.org/">Apache Hive</a>,  which in turn facilitates querying and managing large datasets residing  in distributed storage by exposing them as a data warehouse.<br /><br /><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_data#cite_note-15"></a>
