    Posted 03-21-2017 12:08
    Lone Star Analysis will award a prize for the best suggested addition to our online glossary of analytics terms.   We will award a $250 prize to a university student on May 15.

    Rules:

    - Entries after April 21 may not be accepted and must be submitted in English to info@Lone-Star.com 
    - All entries become the property of Lone Star Analysis
    - Judges' decision is final
    - Since the judges' decision is final, we don't need other rules

    Suggestions:

    1. The Lone Star glossary has a certain kind of "voice."  it is fine to have a different voice, but pedantic blah blah can't win.  You might want to look at these entries:
    - last paragraph of "Artificial Intelligence" 
    - last paragraph of "Big Data" 
    - Fourth Great Lie
    - Spherical Cow
    - ZJF

    2. We are looking for new entries - new additions to the glossary will be most welcome, regardless of voice, as long as they are pithy and not pedantic 

    The glossary is here - Glossary - Lone Star Analysis

    Glossary - Lone Star Analysis
    Business Case Analysis (BCA) is a term with several meanings. In some contexts it just means a PowerPoint presentation with a list of reasons why the speaker wants to take a course of action. In other cases, it involves a cost-benefit trade study, with math models.
