Well, two things. First, I don't think that it would be in Particle's wheelhouse to build a tutorial on predictive methods. Instead, they provide the platform to sense and respond to data. Other companies such as Google, Amazon, IBM and others will build tools that take the data collected by the Particle device and apply predictive models. So, I think you have to look at companies like this for a tutorial.
For example, IBM offers a machine leanring desktop eBook and demo tooling. Perhaps this would be a great place to start. There may be other, better, resources so perhaps someone else in the community can provide links as well:

I also found this post which, while not about prediction in particular, brings a lite version of Google's popular machine leanring platform, Tensor Flow, to a 3rd Generation device.
