Activity 3: Pre-Defined, Can Only Be Used For Its Intended Purpose, Which Causes Some Inflexibility

This document discusses different types of data and how predictive analytics can be useful in various areas. It provides a matrix comparing structured, unstructured, static, streamed, attitudinal, behavioral, and demographic data, outlining their strengths and weaknesses. It then explains how predictive analytics is beneficial for statistics, data mining, and machine learning. Specifically, it allows for predicting risks and opportunities, exploring new strategies using data patterns, and effective data processing that helps machines adapt and analyze more real-time data.

2. Explain how predictive analytics is useful in the following areas: 

a. statistics 

Predictive Analytics is useful in statistics since it helps in predicting potentials


risks and opportunities in the business. With statistics it can accurately analyze large
data for the advantage of the business. It is significant to statistics since it guides the
business to predict certain outcomes which can help the business enhance their
decision-making for the future.

b. data mining 

Predictive Analytics is useful in data mining in maximizing algorithms to explore


newfangled perspectives and strategies, as well as identify the appropriate solutions
for the company. Using predictive analytics in data mining help the business estimate
the future state of the business because it also uses data patterns for the business to
create an action plan accordingly. Since data mining uses predictive analytics, the
web data (which is progressively trending) allows the business ‘see’ the somehow
perfect outcomes when the business make a decision.

c. machine learning

Predictive Analytics is useful in machine learning since it helps in an effective


data processing. Predictive Analytics helps machine learning with being adaptable to
certain changes in data so that machine learning can modify the new data into a
progressive based on real-time. Predictive Analytics also utilizes predictive modelling
which makes machine learning analyze more data meaning the system of the business
will have more information about thus, being more prepared on how to deal and what
to anticipate from it.
