DIAGNOSTIC ANALYTICS
DEFINE
Diagnostic analytics is the process of using historical data and data analysis
techniques to understand past events, performance, and outcomes. Its primary
purpose is to identify the causes and factors that contributed to specific results or
events, helping organizations gain insights into their past performance. This type of
analytics is often the first step in the broader data analysis process and serves as a
foundation for making informed decisions and improvements.

Principle Components Analysis, Sensitivity Analysis, Regression Analytics
DESCRIPTIVE ANALYTICS
DEFINE
Descriptive analytics is a crucial first step in the data analysis process,
providing the necessary context and baseline understanding before moving
on to more advanced analytical stages like diagnostic, predictive, and
prescriptive analytics. While it doesn't provide explanations for why certain
events occurred or make future predictions, it is valuable for tracking
progress, identifying trends, and gaining a clear perspective on historical
data.

PRESCRIPTIVE ANALYTICS
DEFINE
Prescriptive analytics is the advanced branch of data analytics that focuses on
providing specific recommendations and actionable insights to guide decision-
making. Unlike descriptive analytics (which summarizes past events) and diagnostic
analytics (which explains why something happened), prescriptive analytics goes a
step further by offering informed suggestions on what actions to take in the future. It
aims to optimize outcomes, solve problems, and improve processes by leveraging
data and mathematical models.

PREDICTIVE ANALYTICS
DEFINE
Predictive analytics is a branch of data analytics that uses historical and
current data to make predictions about future events or outcomes. It
involves the application of statistical algorithms, machine learning
techniques, and data mining to identify patterns, trends, and relationships
within data. These patterns are then used to make informed forecasts or
predictions, allowing organizations to anticipate future trends and make
proactive decisions.
