As a result of many years of successes at CAE, Tarleton expanded its footprint in data analytics by creating the Tarleton Analytics Institute. TAI operates under Tarleton&#8217;s Special Projects program.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Tarleton Analytics Institute&#8217;s primary aim is providing support to public and private institutions by offering the following services:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Applied Data Science<\/li><li>Data Visualization<\/li><li>Machine Learning<\/li><li>Anomaly Detection<\/li><li>Statistical Analysis<\/li><li>Process Automation<\/li><li>Mathematical Modeling<\/li><li>Productivity Optimization<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>TAI&#8217;s most recent research involves reducing financial loss in the insurance field. We are using machine learning to build predictive models of preventable payments and recovery, resulting in a 44% improvement in cost avoidance and a 14:1 return on investment. Predictive models are supplemented by visualization software to identify anomalous insurance claims and hot spots of persistent financial loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At TAI, each project partnership is assigned a faculty mentor as well as a graduate or undergraduate student assistant. Depending on the size or complexity of the project, other data scientists may by assigned as well. A perfect partnership would result in two positive outcomes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Create a cost avoidance of productivity gain that far exceeds the Partner&#8217;s monetary investment while building a long term relationship for maintenance and improvements to current versions or models<\/li><li>Establish a pipeline whereby Tarleton students gain real world domain knowledge within the Partner&#8217;s business making our students ready for employment with the Partner upon graduation if a position is available.<\/li><\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In, 2000 Tarleton State University established the Center for Agribusiness Excellence whose primary focus is to provide analytics and data mining in support of the federal crop insurance program.
