Explanation
The four types of analytics are: Descriptive (what happened), Diagnostic (why it happened), Predictive (what will happen), and Prescriptive (what should we do). The notebook shown uses Python to summarize and describe existing data - typical operations include value counts, summary statistics, or aggregations over historical records. This is descriptive analytics because it characterizes and summarizes what the data contains without attempting to explain causation, forecast future outcomes, or recommend actions. Descriptive analytics is the foundation of data analysis and is recognized by its use of aggregations, distributions, and summary statistics on historical data.
