If a 25-year-old UC Irvine graduate student is right, the 49ers will taste glory again this postseason.
Matthew Littman, who is pursuing a Master of Science in Business Analytics degree at UCI, created a predictive analytics model to predict the Super Bowl LIV champion. Before the playoffs began, Littman's model predicted (in order) the 49ers, Kansas City Chiefs, Tennessee Titans and Green Bay Packers as the teams with the greatest chance to win.
So far, the model is spot on. San Francisco hosts Green Bay in the NFC Championship game Sunday, while Kansas City hosts Tennessee in the AFC Championship.
This may worth something:

BIG DATA ANALYTICS – the next big thing that's already here.
Last week, Alan told me he’s a professional systems analyst. I did not know that. He’s as serial as a serial entrepreneur can get. Now suddenly it all means sense; his insistence on us gravitating towards massive data-generating activities; his reiteration that we value higher traffic than higher margins; and lastly, it explains that “the data is everyfin” mantra he’s drummed into my head for years with his 75% British accent.
So when I caught up with my old buddy Esi a couple weeks ago and she repeated similar lines of thought, we had a fun conversation on where Ghana is headed and can head when local companies and organizations catch up to the Western World’s effective utilization of Big Data and Predictive Analytics.

Banner, an advocate and early adopter of advanced football statistics, understood why coaches feared them. It felt like a threat to their decision-making power. But he explained to the coach that they were basically advanced versions of the "tendency reports" he had been receiving from assistant coaches, who would scout opponents to determine how they approached every game situation, for years.

Joy City Mall: Big Data Analytics Drives Commercial Success - Knowledge@Wharton
China's bricks-and-mortar shopping malls have come under significant pressure in recent years. Despite strong economic growth and rising consumer demand, China faces severe overcapacity of its physical retail space. This is chiefly due to the growing popularity of e-commerce — as of 2018, nearly 33% of all sales in China took place online. These debt-laden malls with shrinking foot traffic are adding to China's mounting corporate debt, which is larger than its GDP.
Joy City Property Holdings Limited is an example of a successful deployment of this strategy. By offering a range of integrated services within its portfolio of real estate holdings, Joy City has been able to retain a customer base that is notoriously fickle, price-conscious and lacking in brand loyalty. Joy City used big data analytics to improve its customer retention rate, thereby paving the way for a new kind of retail experience and mall operations management in China.
Woolworths uses analytics to find stores for trials, refurbishment - Software - iTnews
Woolworths is using data analytics to determine which of its supermarkets would most benefit from refurbishment or new store format proof-of-concepts.
The retailer was revealed in March last year as a user of an A/B testing software package called MarketDial, and has now provided significant new details of its use cases.
“The whole reason that MarketDial is getting legs within this organisation is that it should become the core product in our capital management forums,” Woolworths’ general manager of data and retail analytics Doug Frank said.
