Maximize Your Halloween Haul with Data-Driven Trick-or-Treating

It’s officially the spookiest time of the year.  

As adults around the world set up Halloween decorations, prepare delicious snacks, and host gatherings, children are busy devising their strategies and scheming to maximize their candy haul during trick-or-treating. After all, it only comes once each year! 

Given the window to collect as much candy as possible is so narrow, we wanted to give your little ones a competitive edge, powered (of course) by Minitab’s Predictive Analytics module. To demonstrate this, we imagined a scenario where data from trick-or-treaters was collected to determine which factors might be most important for maximizing candy haul.
