During this chapter, you used several custom functions to predict outcomes and then evaluated your predictions from a practical perspective. Ultimately, you determined the best strategy available for the Shu army's next attack. While coming to this conclusion, you acquired the knowledge and skills necessary to:
- Use regression models to predict outcomes
- Create your own custom functions to address specific needs
- Assess the viability of achieving the outcomes predicted by regression models
While you may have decided on a course of action for the Shu forces, your job is far from over. The major challenge at this point is to convey your ideas to others in such a way that they can be easily understood.
The next section of our book deals with the challenge of communicating the results of our data analyses. In Chapter 7, we will focus on conducting a complete, organized analysis in R. In Chapter 8, we will seek support from the emperor by presenting our battle plans graphically. In Chapter 9, we will use detailed custom visuals to educate our generals on the strategy that they will execute.
