Data Analytics 편집하기

'''Data Analytics''' is the process of examining raw data to uncover patterns, trends, and insights that can inform decision-making. It involves the use of statistical, computational, and visualization techniques to transform data into actionable knowledge.
==Key Concepts==
*'''Data Collection:''' Gathering raw data from various sources, such as databases, APIs, and sensors.
*'''Data Cleaning:''' Removing errors, inconsistencies, and duplicates to ensure data quality.
*'''Data Transformation:''' Preparing data for analysis by normalizing, aggregating, or reshaping it.
*'''Analysis Techniques:''' Applying statistical and machine learning methods to uncover insights.
*'''Data Visualization:''' Presenting findings in charts, graphs, and dashboards to facilitate understanding.
==Types of Data Analytics==
Data analytics is broadly categorized into four types:
#'''Descriptive Analytics:'''
#*Focuses on summarizing historical data to identify patterns and trends.
#*Example: Monthly sales reports showing revenue trends.
#'''Diagnostic Analytics:'''
#*Explores the causes of past events or anomalies.
#*Example: Analyzing why sales dropped in a specific region.
#'''Predictive Analytics:'''
#*Uses historical data and machine learning to predict future outcomes.
#*Example: Forecasting customer demand for the next quarter.
#'''Prescriptive Analytics:'''
#*Provides actionable recommendations to achieve desired outcomes.
#*Example: Suggesting optimal inventory levels based on sales forecasts.
==Steps in Data Analytics==
The data analytics process typically follows these steps:
#'''Define Objectives:''' Identify the goals or questions the analysis aims to address.
#'''Data Collection:''' Gather data from relevant sources, such as databases, APIs, or surveys.
#'''Data Cleaning:''' Remove errors, fill missing values, and standardize formats.
#'''Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA):''' Explore data to identify patterns, correlations, and anomalies.
#'''Apply Analytical Techniques:''' Use statistical or machine learning methods to analyze the data.
#'''Interpret Results:''' Translate findings into actionable insights and recommendations.
#'''Communicate Insights:''' Share results through reports, dashboards, or visualizations.
