9. Created a regression formulae
ADS analysts developed an estimated regression equation relating the amount
of purchase to the amount spent at related stores:
Y = 26.7 + 0.00205x
Where , y =amount of purchase amount x= spent at
related stores
Using this equation, we could predict that someone spending $10,000 over
the past 39 months at related stores would spend $47.20

12. Define very clearly your objectives for
implementing learning analytics and the
changes you want to achieve
Key Learnings
Mapping context & it involves:
The context—The people, institutions, and
processes that may help or hinder change
The evidence— convince sceptics of the
need for change, achieved via data collection
Links—People and processes that give you
access to influential connections
Once we know who benefits the most from
the use of analysis, consider which
stakeholders hold the most influence. These
could be individuals or a group of stakeholders
A strategic plan helps ensure that your
implementation happens predictably and in a
controlled manner. Without a strategy, your
implementation is much more likely to go off
the rails.
