Definition

Analytics is the systematic computational analysis of data or statistics. It is the process of discovering, interpreting, and communicating significant patterns in data. . Quite simply, analytics helps us see insights and meaningful data that we might not otherwise detect. It also entails applying data patterns towards effective decision-making. It can be valuable in areas rich with recorded information; analytics relies on the simultaneous application of statistics, computer programming and operations research to quantify performance.
