With huge amounts of data at hand, some technique is required to analyze them.
But make sure you are not misled by the universal unstructured data analytics…

In 2015, I was working at Diebold where we build ATM machine hardware and software and complete ecosystem around the ATM. When we talk about ATM machine, it is a collection of very complex small hardware which collectively performs tasks. And typically, when we think ATM is only used for cash withdraw and that is not true. When we talk about ATM it is a Bank branch itself. You can deposit cash, withdraw cash, deposit cheques. And Whatever we can do in the branch we can do with…

Multidimensional analysis, commonly called OLAP, is an interactively data analysis process that performs operations, including rotation, slice and dice, drilldown etc., on a data cube. The structure of its back-end computation is simple, as shown by the following SQL:
SELECT D,..., SUM(M), ... FROM C WHERE D'=d' AND ... GROUP BY D,...
The statement…

Imagine yourself the following situation: You are sitting in a lecture hall, listening to a lecture on mechanics, bored to death, fantasizing the moment you kiss your girlfriend you’ve been dating for the last two months (love is in the air!) Only three more hours to go! Suddenly your i-Relation app sends you the following text: "Hey Josh, watch out! There is a chance of 95% that you are going to have a serious fight with Emily today!" "Oh darn!" you must be…

Summary: A year ago we wrote about the emergence of fully automated predictive analytic platforms including some with true One-Click Data-In Model-Out capability. We revisited the five contenders from last year with one new addition and found the automation movement continues to move forward. We also observed some players from last year have now gone in different directions. …
