Abstract: Various examples of methods and systems are provided for improved predictive analytics. In one example, a method of managing operation of an asset or group of assets of interest includes comparing a generated prediction with one or more prediction range associated with a risk profile assigned to an operational outcome of interest, presenting a notification to an operator in response to the comparison, and incorporating operator-generated input as updated source data for the generation of subsequent predictions. The operator-generated input can comprise an operator-defined selection such as, e.g., acceptance of the notification, or rejection of the notification. The operator-generated input can provide real time or near real time information based upon context-specific knowledge that the operator holds that is substantially independent of historical source data.
