CENTRE FOR GLOBAL DEVELOPMENT RESEARCH:  A COMMITMENT TO QUALITY RESEARCH, STRATEGIC ANALYTICS AND OBJECTIVE OPINION

Data Analytics Modelling and Forecasting

Data analysis finds its importance in decision making with respect to issues, which may be as simple as those involving daily life to as complex as involving management of complex business and scientific endeavours. It derives its power from systematic patterns and relationships observed in historical events and outcomes. For example, analyses of historical patterns of incomes, investments, savings, stock markets, global dependence and coordination, weather conditions, and policy stances are very helpful in corporate decision making and allocating government expenditures.

Data analysis and data mining involve processes of inspecting, cleaning, transforming, and modelling quantitative information with the goal of discovering useful information, suggesting conclusions, and supporting decision making. It has multiple facets and approaches, encompassing diverse qualitative and quantitative techniques under a variety of names, in different domains such as business, science, and social science. The nature of analysis may be of the form of business intelligence, description of facts (descriptive statistics with linguistic and textual emphasis), exploration of new features in data (exploratory data analysis - EDA), or confirmation of certain pre-conceived hypothesis (confirmatory data analysis - CDA). Depending on the type of data and needs of the analysis, researchers follow different methods of modelling, which may be linear, non-linear, or structural in nature.
