To reduce costs of collecting and storing data that is not relevant, it is important to define which analytical questions are to be answered and how much data is needed to answer these questions. In this chapter,a process to define an optimal sampling size is proposed. Based on benefit/cost considerations, the authors show how to find the sample size that maximizes the utility of predictive analytics. By applying the proposed process to a case study is shown that only a very small fraction of the available data set is needed to make accurate predictions.",
