Every company faces problems in running various departments and consistently enforcing their policies.
That is why they rely on specialists in their HR departments to keep staff aligned with organizational
goals, whether it means addressing personal conflicts or putting together attractive benefits packages.
HR specialists cover many different areas of a company’s operations. Here are some common challenges
faced by human resource managers today.
To get a prediction, four machine learning algorithms were used. Information Gain, Similarity Based,
Probability Based and Error based.
The optimization of the number of maintenance strategies based on reliability field data becomes a
challenging issue when the number of managed assets is very large (e.g., millions). The proper use and
exploitation of the associated reliability (big) data calls for advanced data mining techniques (Meeker &
Hong, 2014). In this context, this work proposes a clustering algorithm for grouping assets based on their
reliability distributions: clusters of assets with similar failure behavior will, then, undergo the same
preventive maintenance optimal schedule. Indeed, this approach opens to the possibility of optimizing
the maintenance strategy specifically for all assets belonging to a same cluster. The proposed approach
has been applied to reliability data collected for devices of the Italian railway system. Before the study
presented in this paper, the grouping of the assets (for maintenance strategies planning) was only based
on some technical information (such as rail type, switch point machine model, etc.) and/or geographic
localization, rather than accounting for their common reliability features, that is, indeed the key novelty
of the here proposed approach. Although the case study is derived from a real industrial application,
due to the non-disclosure agreement with the industrial partner, the data shown in this paper have
been opportunely re-scaled and modified.
Human motor behavior is constantly adapted through the process of error-based learning. When the
motor system encounters an error, its estimate about the body and environment will change, and the
next movement will be immediately modified to counteract the underlying perturbation. Here, we show
that a second mechanism, use-dependent learning, simultaneously changes movements to become
more similar to the last movement. In three experiments, participants made reaching movements
toward a horizontally elongated target, such that errors in the initial movement direction did not have
to be corrected. Along this task-redundant dimension, we were able to induce use-dependent learning
by passively guiding movements in a direction angled by 8° from the previous direction. In a second
study, we show that error-based and use-dependent learning can change motor behavior
simultaneously in opposing directions by physically constraining the direction of active movements.
After removal of the constraint, participants briefly exhibit an error-based aftereffect against the
direction of the constraint, followed by a longer-lasting use-dependent aftereffect in the direction of the
constraint. In the third experiment, we show that these two learning mechanisms together determine
the solution the motor system adopts when learning a motor task.
Naive Bayes is a simple but surprisingly powerful algorithm for predictive modeling.
The model is comprised of two types of probabilities that can be calculated directly from your training
data: 1) The probability of each class; and 2) The conditional probability for each class given each x
value. Once calculated, the probability model can be used to make predictions for new data using Bayes

Conclusion
Out of all four algorithms applied, Decision Tree of Information Gain gave the predictions ranging 96%.
Hence, this performed the best with the dataset of the above mentioned business problem.
