Predictive vs Prescriptive vs Descriptive Analytics Explained 

Business analytics leveraging data patterns for strategic moves comes in three key approaches – descriptive identifying “what has occurred", predictive forecasting “what could occur” and prescriptive recommending “what should occur” to optimize decisions. We decode the science behind each for aspiring analytics professionals.

Descriptive analytics convert volumes of historical data into insightful summaries around metrics revealing business health, customer trends, operational efficiencies etc. using direct analysis, aggregation and mining techniques producing current reports. 

Predictive analytics forecast unknown future probabilities applying statistical, econometric and machine learning models over existing data to minimize uncertainties and capture emerging behaviors early for mitigation actions. Risk models simulate scenarios balancing upside/downside tradeoffs. 

Prescriptive analytics take guidance one step further by dynamically recommending best decision options factoring in key performance indicators for business objective improvements after predicting multiple futures using bell curve simulations. Optimization algorithms deliver preferred actions.

While foundational data comprehension and wrangling abilities fuel all models – pursuing analytics specializations focused on statistical, computational or operational excellence boosts career-readiness filling different priorities global employers seek!

Damian being an Anime fan is so funny to me, because he's the one people would expect it from the least.

Bruce is at an event and gets asked about his kids interests, and he is like "Oh, where to start! One of my boys, he loves those Japanese caricatures, you know. He buys these comic books that are backwards... He's always reading them."

And everyone turns to look at Tim.

Tim, resident cool skater boy, with his vintage cameras and old school Vans is like "??"

Then Bruce goes, "And another one of them. Oh, how he likes likes classic literature. Jane Austen, Oscar Wilde, Virginia Woolf, you name it."

And everyone turns to Damian.

Damian, who radiates old money and talks like a Victorian child stuck in the 21st century. Yet spends his time kicking his feet to Shoujo Manga and drawing OCs, is like "??"

And somewhere in Crime Alley Jason feels a disturbance in the force

Steve Harrington and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day but it’s actually two months of him trying to keep appointments with his doctor and either forgetting about them or getting distracted and missing them.

This goes on for so long, Dr Owen’s shows up at his door like, “Have you considered Adderall?”

Yandere visual novel games recommendations

These are all free to download from itch.io on computer. I’m not sure if any of these could work on any other device but most probably not. Most of these games aren’t finished either and it’s the demo you play(they’re indie games created during, what I presume, is the persons free time, so it takes a while to develop) Still, you have content to play and it doesn’t end after just 5 minutes, I promise.

I will continue to update this post with new games I enjoy!

Mike: is struggling financially and mentally

Vanessa: *throws his prescription medicine*

Edit: it's not just about whether Mike needed the drugs (which he didn't, i understand), it's about the fact SHE LITTERED and most likely polluted the river too.

These idiots bro…

Ok that’s it byeeeee

[violent138]

Thinking of Bruce downing like a sizable amount of pain meds due to tolerance and abnormal levels of pain so he can still function and because he's normally so quiet and now he's buzzed quiet there's no outwardly apparent difference unless you're Alfred or one of his kids or Clark. And while Bruce's favourite thing to do in this state is attend WE board meetings, he occasionally has to head to the Watchtower.

Emergencies sober him up fast, but the second a need for coherency ends he lapses back to mellow. Nobody notices that he's been nodding continuously because Clark keeps subtly coughing or lightly kicking his chair.

Works perfectly until Clark kicks it out and Bruce goes down like a stringless puppet.

"The Biden Administration last week [early December, 2023] announced it would be seizing patents for drugs and drug manufacturing procedures developed using government money.

A draft of the new law, seen by Reuters, said that the government will consider various factors including whether a medical situation is leading to increased prices of the drug at any given time, or whether only a small section of Americans can afford it.

The new executive order is the first exercise in what is called “march-in-rights” which allows relevant government agencies to redistribute patents if they were generated under government funding. The NIH has long maintained march-in-rights, but previous directors have been unwilling to use them, fearing consequences.

“We’ll make it clear that when drug companies won’t sell taxpayer funded drugs at reasonable prices, we will be prepared to allow other companies to provide those drugs for less,” White House adviser Lael Brainard said on a press call.

But just how much taxpayer money is going toward funding drugs? A research paper from the Insitute for New Economic Thought showed that “NIH funding contributed to research associated with every new drug approved from 2010-2019, totaling $230 billion.”

The authors of the paper continue, writing “NIH funding also produced 22 thousand patents, which provided marketing exclusivity for 27 (8.6%) of the drugs approved [between] 2010-2019.”

How we do drug discovery and production in America has a number of fundamental flaws that have created problems in the health service industry.

It costs billions of dollars and sometimes as many as 5 to 10 years to bring a drug to market in the US, which means that only companies with massive financial muscle can do so with any regularity, and that smaller, more innovative companies can’t compete with these pharma giants.

This also means that if a company can’t recoup that loss, a single failed drug can result in massive disruptions to business. To protect themselves, pharmaceutical companies establish piles of patents on drugs and drug manufacturing procedures. Especially if the drug in question treats a rare or obscure disease, these patents essentially ensure the company has monoselective pricing regimes.

However, if a company can convince the NIH that a particular drug should be considered a public health priority, they can be almost entirely funded by the government, as the research paper showed.

Some market participants, in this case the famous billionaire investor Mark Cuban, have attempted to remedy the issue of drug costs in America by manufacturing generic versions of patented drugs sold for common diseases."
