Predictive and Prescriptive Analyticsย 

By far, predictive and prescriptive analytics are the most discussed topics especially since the main focus of analytics processes is on big data that is being leveraged by big, small, and medium-sized enterprises alike.ย 

Basically, predictive analytics is the process of extraction of information from existing data for forecasting future probabilities.ย 

Predictive analytics implies the probabilities of the future with an adequate level of reliability along with a few alternative scenarios and risk assessment.ย

They have been able to deliver different experiences on desktop and mobile platforms. Now, it is high time for the rest of the industry to buckle up.ย
