Gain-Pain
Advertisements are usually used to publicize a product to a large number of potential buyers. But we are often sent adverts or notifications that annoys us and leave a negative image. To avoid this from happening, Big Data Analysis has developed the Gain-Pain concept. We can use existing data to evaluate the users’ ‘receptiveness level’ for special messages. This application can be found in game theory, as well as in the theory of evolution and is the best proof that it works well.
International Tennis Number (ITN)
Since 2003 an internationally recognized 10-step rating system is used in tennis to rate tennis players and for the initial classification of new players. We can analyse game results and deliver assessments of victory chances, insights needed for developing game strategies and for predicting game durations, which is of great value while planning tournaments. Incidentally, it is no secret that many players in the ATP-Tour maintain detailed game records of their opponents.
