    Why?
    • malux85 9y ago
      Because having large datasets allows me to merge the data with proprietary sets, or increase my own predictive models. I have real estate models, Energy Trading models, cryptocurrency models, mechanical failure predictive models, insurance models, sentiment models and clustering models Everything is monetised
