Of the dozens of existing tools, we list here some of them, used in Analytics, Data Science…
Big Data can bring a personalized experience to millions of users, understand what motivates customers, delay production lines, analyze genomes for cancer research, and evolve into astronomy and physics.
To gain insight into data, is necessary to apply analytical methods to your data treatment, a practice known as “Data Science.”
Analytical Methods aim at guessing the future, developing prophecies, predictions, and this we call “Predictive Analytics.”
The term “Analytics” or “Data Analytics” is more used than Big Data considering that companies do data analysis in various areas such as finance, marketing and business.
Business Intelligence performs data analysis but does…
