Analytics

[Zipporah Schumaker]

The simplest definition of [Analytics] is the science of analysis. In reality, the word Analytics has not been properly defined by [the professional] community and may mean different things to different people. A simple and practical definition, however, would be how an entity(i.e., business) arrives at the most optimal or realistic decision from a variety of available options, based on existing data. Business managers may choose to make decisions based on past experiences or [rule of thumb], or there might be other qualitative aspects to decision making; but unless there is data involved in the process, it would be considered beyond the purview of [analytics]. Another definition could be that Analytics is a field of study / profession that has applications in any field (business / social / political / home) where data is available.
