Analytics - 6 Resources

Analytics is the study of business data using statistical analysis in order to discover and understand historical patterns with an eye to predicting and improving business performance in the future. Some people use the term "Analytics" to denote the use of mathematics in business. This field includes the use of Operations Research, Statistics and Probability. Analytics closely resembles statistical analysis and data mining, but tends to be based on physics modeling involving extensive computation. Some fields within the area of analytics are enterprise decision management, marketing analytics, predictive science, strategy science, credit risk analysis and fraud analytics. - Wikipedia
