Descriptive Analytics

Summary

Descriptive analytics is the process of analyzing historical data to gain insights and understand past events.

Detailed Description

Descriptive analytics helps organizations understand what happened in the past by analyzing historical data. This type of analytics often uses data aggregation and mining techniques to summarize past events or behaviors. Common methods include data visualization tools, reporting processes, and statistical analysis. Unlike predictive analytics, which forecasts future trends, descriptive analytics focuses purely on historical data, providing the context necessary to make informed decisions.
