It's rare to see a free ebook in the books "for Dummies" series. It appears that this one is available free only in the pdf format. To get it, you will need to answer a short questionnaire, but once you've done that you can immediately download the book.
Predictive Analytics for Dummies. By Michael Wessler. Pdf $0.00.

Note: This is a "special edition." The only thing "special" that I see about it is that it is much shorter in length (44 pages) than the regular edition (316 pages) (I can think of some advantages to a shortened edition). At Amazon, the regular edition is rated 4 stars from 8 reviews at the present moment.
From the front cover:
Learn to:
-Understand predictive analytics and why it is a game changer.
-Maximize the value predictive analytics brings to the business.
-Gain competitive advantage by using predictive analytics to make smarter decisions.
