Predictive Analytics
Written by Amandeep Kaur Sekhon and Ruhi Saini

As a post graduate student in Victoria University, we got a chance to work with R tool for predictive analytic s under the guidance of our Respected Professor Shah Miah. He made us to write a blog as a part of assessment.We learnt to work in visualizing data in Business Analytic s and now we learnt to work R tool in Predictive Analytic s.

Predictive analytic s is the branch of the progressed investigation which is utilized to make forecasts about obscure future occasions. Predictive analytic s utilizes numerous strategies from information mining, insights, demonstrating, machine learning, and man made brainpower to dissect current information to make forecasts about future. 

Different Aspects of Predictive analytic s
·         Data exploration
·         Data Manipulation
·         Data Representation

We decided to investigate data related to Vehicle Impoundments in last few years and to find out some conclusions to analyse that data for the coming years. In the competitive era,  there are numerous cases of vehicle impoundements. It varies according to the age groups.  
Vehicle impoundment is the lawful procedure of setting a vehicle into an impoundment parcel, which is a holding spot for autos until they are either set back in the proprietor's control, or sold for the appropriating's advantage organization. Vehicles may be seized by government organizations (generally districts) when:
·         There are uncertain stopping violation(s) of a specific age, and perhaps over an aggregate fine edge
·         In specific cases, amid the infringement of a stopping mandate ("tow away zone")
·         The vehicle's registrant has certain uncertain moving infringement
·         The vehicle is gathered as confirmation of the commission of a potential wrongdoing (e.g. crime or medication pirating).
·         In a few purview, as a major aspect of repossession of a vehicle by a lessor or moneylender
For the purpose of analyzing data, we use the data for vehicle impoundment  in Victoria. We visited numerous sites for example Australian Bureau of Statistics, Parliament of Australia, Police sites. Gathering information is usually a challenging part and here the specific form of data was required. And any how we successfully collected the data from the Victoria Police site, cleanse the data according to the requirement and uploaded to R tool.
Working with R
·         First of all we need to download R package. Different packages are available and one can download and install according to the memory available. There are different packages for windows and mac OS X.
·         Then the cleansed data needs to be loaded to . The command that can be used to load is predßread.table(“File with the specific path”, header=T/F, sep=”,”)

·         Then we can execute number of commands to represent and explore data in different ways. Some of the examples are shown in screenshots below:

Predicted data for the year 2015,2016 and 2017

      In this way working with R and using the R commands and functions, data can be represented and explored and analysed in an efficient way.
      Many Thanks to

Mr. Shah Miah
