Explanation

What Is Predictive Analytics? When you know what happened in the past and understand why it happened, you can then begin to predict what is likely to occur in the future based on that information. Predictive analytics takes the investigation a step further, using statistics, computational modeling, and machine learning to determine the probability of various outcomes. What Is Diagnostic Analytics? Once you know what happened, you’ll want to know why it happened. That’s where diagnostic analytics comes in. Understanding why a trend is developing or why a problem occurred will make your business intelligence actionable. It prevents your team from making inaccurate guesses, particularly related to confusing correlation and causality.
