Big data is typically measured in terabytes or petabytes. One petabyte is equal to 1,000,000 gigabytes. To put this in perspective, consider that a single HD movie contains around 4 gigabytes of data. One petabyte is the equivalent of 250,000 films. Large datasets measure anywhere from hundreds to thousands to millions of petabytes.</p> \n<p>Big data analytics is the process of finding patterns, trends, and relationships in massive datasets.

Data collection follows ETL or ELT processes.</p> \n <h4 style=\"margin-left:0in; margin-right:0in\">ETL – Extract Transform Load</h4> \n <p style=\"margin-left:0in; margin-right:0in\">In ETL, the data generated is first transformed into a standard format and then loaded into storage.</p> \n <h4 style=\"margin-left:0in; margin-right:0in\">ELT – Extract Load Transform</h4> \n <p style=\"margin-left:0in; margin-right:0in\">In ELT, the data is first loaded into storage and then transformed into the required format.</p> \n <h3 style=\"margin-left:0in; margin-right:0in\">Data storage</h3> \n <p style=\"margin-left:0in; margin-right:0in\">Based on the complexity of data, data can be moved to storage such as cloud data warehouses or data lakes. Business intelligence tools can access it when needed.</p> \n <h4 style=\"margin-left:0in; margin-right:0in\">Comparison of data lakes with data warehouses</h4> \n <p style=\"margin-left:0in; margin-right:0in\">A <em>data warehouse</em> is a database optimized to analyze relational data coming from transactional systems and business applications. The data structure and schema are defined in advance to optimize for fast searching and reporting. Data is cleaned, enriched, and transformed to act as the “single source of truth” that users can trust. Data examples include customer profiles and product information.</p> \n <p style=\"margin-left:0in; margin-right:0in\">A <em>data lake</em> is different because it can store both structured and unstructured data without any further processing. The structure of the data or schema is not defined when data is captured; this means that you can store all of your data without careful design, which is particularly useful when the future use of the data is unknown. Data examples include social media content, IoT device data, and nonrelational data from mobile apps.</p> \n <p style=\"margin-left:0in; margin-right:0in\">Organizations typically require both data lakes and <a href=\"https://aws.amazon.com/data-warehouse/\" style=\"color:#0563c1; text-decoration:underline\">data warehouses</a> for data analytics. <a href=\"https://aws.amazon.com/lake-formation/\" style=\"color:#0563c1; text-decoration:underline\">AWS Lake Formation</a> and <a href=\"https://aws.amazon.com/redshift/\" style=\"color:#0563c1; text-decoration:underline\">Amazon Redshift</a> can take care of your data needs.</p> \n <h3 style=\"margin-left:0in; margin-right:0in\">Data processing</h3> \n <p style=\"margin-left:0in; margin-right:0in\">When data is in place, it has to be converted and organized to obtain accurate results from analytical queries. Different data processing options exist to do this. The choice of approach depends on the computational and analytical resources available for data processing.</p> \n <h4 style=\"margin-left:0in; margin-right:0in\">Centralized processing </h4> \n <p style=\"margin-left:0in; margin-right:0in\">All processing happens on a dedicated central server that hosts all the data.</p> \n <h4 style=\"margin-left:0in; margin-right:0in\">Distributed processing </h4> \n <p style=\"margin-left:0in; margin-right:0in\">Data is distributed and stored on different servers.</p> \n <h4 style=\"margin-left:0in; margin-right:0in\">Batch processing </h4> \n <p style=\"margin-left:0in; margin-right:0in\">Pieces of data accumulate over time and are processed in batches.</p> \n <h4 style=\"margin-left:0in; margin-right:0in\">Real-time processing<em> </em></h4> \n <p style=\"margin-left:0in; margin-right:0in\">Data is processed continually, with computational tasks finishing in seconds. </p> \n <h3 style=\"margin-left:0in; margin-right:0in\">Data cleansing</h3> \n <p style=\"margin-left:0in; margin-right:0in\">Data cleansing involves scrubbing for any errors such as duplications, inconsistencies, redundancies, or wrong formats.  It’s also used to filter out any unwanted data for analytics.</p> \n <h3 style=\"margin-left:0in; margin-right:0in\">Data analysis</h3> \n <p style=\"margin-left:0in; margin-right:0in\">This is the step in which raw data is converted to actionable insights. The following are four types of data analytics:</p> \n <h4 style=\"margin-left:0in; margin-right:0in\">1. Descriptive analytics</h4> \n <p style=\"margin-left:0in; margin-right:0in\">Data scientists analyze data to understand what happened or what is happening in the data environment. It is characterized by data visualization such as pie charts, bar charts, line graphs, tables, or generated narratives.</p> \n <h4 style=\"margin-left:0in; margin-right:0in\">2. Diagnostic analytics</h4> \n <p style=\"margin-left:0in; margin-right:0in\">Diagnostic analytics is a deep-dive or detailed data analytics process to understand why something happened. It is characterized by techniques such as drill-down, data discovery, data mining, and correlations.

Business intelligence tools can access it when needed.</p> \n <h4 style=\"margin-left:0in; margin-right:0in\">Comparison of data lakes with data warehouses</h4> \n <p style=\"margin-left:0in; margin-right:0in\">A <em>data warehouse</em> is a database optimized to analyze relational data coming from transactional systems and business applications. The data structure and schema are defined in advance to optimize for fast searching and reporting. Data is cleaned, enriched, and transformed to act as the “single source of truth” that users can trust. Data examples include customer profiles and product information.</p> \n <p style=\"margin-left:0in; margin-right:0in\">A <em>data lake</em> is different because it can store both structured and unstructured data without any further processing. The structure of the data or schema is not defined when data is captured; this means that you can store all of your data without careful design, which is particularly useful when the future use of the data is unknown. Data examples include social media content, IoT device data, and nonrelational data from mobile apps.</p> \n <p style=\"margin-left:0in; margin-right:0in\">Organizations typically require both data lakes and <a href=\"https://aws.amazon.com/data-warehouse/\" style=\"color:#0563c1; text-decoration:underline\">data warehouses</a> for data analytics. <a href=\"https://aws.amazon.com/lake-formation/\" style=\"color:#0563c1; text-decoration:underline\">AWS Lake Formation</a> and <a href=\"https://aws.amazon.com/redshift/\" style=\"color:#0563c1; text-decoration:underline\">Amazon Redshift</a> can take care of your data needs.</p> \n <h3 style=\"margin-left:0in; margin-right:0in\">Data processing</h3> \n <p style=\"margin-left:0in; margin-right:0in\">When data is in place, it has to be converted and organized to obtain accurate results from analytical queries. Different data processing options exist to do this. The choice of approach depends on the computational and analytical resources available for data processing.</p> \n <h4 style=\"margin-left:0in; margin-right:0in\">Centralized processing </h4> \n <p style=\"margin-left:0in; margin-right:0in\">All processing happens on a dedicated central server that hosts all the data.</p> \n <h4 style=\"margin-left:0in; margin-right:0in\">Distributed processing </h4> \n <p style=\"margin-left:0in; margin-right:0in\">Data is distributed and stored on different servers.</p> \n <h4 style=\"margin-left:0in; margin-right:0in\">Batch processing </h4> \n <p style=\"margin-left:0in; margin-right:0in\">Pieces of data accumulate over time and are processed in batches.</p> \n <h4 style=\"margin-left:0in; margin-right:0in\">Real-time processing<em> </em></h4> \n <p style=\"margin-left:0in; margin-right:0in\">Data is processed continually, with computational tasks finishing in seconds. </p> \n <h3 style=\"margin-left:0in; margin-right:0in\">Data cleansing</h3> \n <p style=\"margin-left:0in; margin-right:0in\">Data cleansing involves scrubbing for any errors such as duplications, inconsistencies, redundancies, or wrong formats.  It’s also used to filter out any unwanted data for analytics.</p> \n <h3 style=\"margin-left:0in; margin-right:0in\">Data analysis</h3> \n <p style=\"margin-left:0in; margin-right:0in\">This is the step in which raw data is converted to actionable insights. The following are four types of data analytics:</p> \n <h4 style=\"margin-left:0in; margin-right:0in\">1. Descriptive analytics</h4> \n <p style=\"margin-left:0in; margin-right:0in\">Data scientists analyze data to understand what happened or what is happening in the data environment. It is characterized by data visualization such as pie charts, bar charts, line graphs, tables, or generated narratives.</p> \n <h4 style=\"margin-left:0in; margin-right:0in\">2. Diagnostic analytics</h4> \n <p style=\"margin-left:0in; margin-right:0in\">Diagnostic analytics is a deep-dive or detailed data analytics process to understand why something happened. It is characterized by techniques such as drill-down, data discovery, data mining, and correlations. In each of these techniques, multiple data operations and transformations are used for analyzing raw data.</p> \n <h4 style=\"margin-left:0in; margin-right:0in\">3. Predictive analytics</h4> \n <p style=\"margin-left:0in; margin-right:0in\">Predictive analytics uses historical data to make accurate forecasts about future trends. It is characterized by techniques such as <a href=\"https://aws.amazon.com/what-is/machine-learning/\">machine learning</a>, forecasting, pattern matching, and predictive modeling. In each of these techniques, computers are trained to reverse engineer causality connections in the data.</p> \n <h4 style=\"margin-left:0in; margin-right:0in\">4. Prescriptive analytics</h4> \n <p style=\"margin-left:0in; margin-right:0in\">Prescriptive analytics takes predictive data to the next level. It not only predicts what is likely to happen but also suggests an optimum response to that outcome.

Big data is typically measured in terabytes or petabytes. One petabyte is equal to 1,000,000 gigabytes. To put this in perspective, consider that a single HD movie contains around 4 gigabytes of data. One petabyte is the equivalent of 250,000 films. Large datasets measure anywhere from hundreds to thousands to millions of petabytes.</p> <p>Big data analytics is the process of finding patterns, trends, and relationships in massive datasets.

Data collection follows ETL or ELT processes.</p> <h4>ETL – Extract Transform Load</h4> <p>In ETL, the data generated is first transformed into a standard format and then loaded into storage.</p> <h4>ELT – Extract Load Transform</h4> <p>In ELT, the data is first loaded into storage and then transformed into the required format.</p> <h3>Data storage</h3> <p>Based on the complexity of data, data can be moved to storage such as cloud data warehouses or data lakes. Business intelligence tools can access it when needed.</p> <h4>Comparison of data lakes with data warehouses</h4> <p>A <em>data warehouse</em> is a database optimized to analyze relational data coming from transactional systems and business applications. The data structure and schema are defined in advance to optimize for fast searching and reporting. Data is cleaned, enriched, and transformed to act as the “single source of truth” that users can trust. Data examples include customer profiles and product information.</p> <p>A <em>data lake</em> is different because it can store both structured and unstructured data without any further processing. The structure of the data or schema is not defined when data is captured; this means that you can store all of your data without careful design, which is particularly useful when the future use of the data is unknown. Data examples include social media content, IoT device data, and nonrelational data from mobile apps.</p> <p>Organizations typically require both data lakes and <a href="https://aws.amazon.com/data-warehouse/">data warehouses</a> for data analytics. <a href="https://aws.amazon.com/lake-formation/">AWS Lake Formation</a> and <a href="https://aws.amazon.com/redshift/">Amazon Redshift</a> can take care of your data needs.</p> <h3>Data processing</h3> <p>When data is in place, it has to be converted and organized to obtain accurate results from analytical queries. Different data processing options exist to do this. The choice of approach depends on the computational and analytical resources available for data processing.</p> <h4>Centralized processing </h4> <p>All processing happens on a dedicated central server that hosts all the data.</p> <h4>Distributed processing </h4> <p>Data is distributed and stored on different servers.</p> <h4>Batch processing </h4> <p>Pieces of data accumulate over time and are processed in batches.</p> <h4>Real-time processing<em> </em></h4> <p>Data is processed continually, with computational tasks finishing in seconds. </p> <h3>Data cleansing</h3> <p>Data cleansing involves scrubbing for any errors such as duplications, inconsistencies, redundancies, or wrong formats.  It’s also used to filter out any unwanted data for analytics.</p> <h3>Data analysis</h3> <p>This is the step in which raw data is converted to actionable insights. The following are four types of data analytics:</p> <h4>1. Descriptive analytics</h4> <p>Data scientists analyze data to understand what happened or what is happening in the data environment. It is characterized by data visualization such as pie charts, bar charts, line graphs, tables, or generated narratives.</p> <h4>2. Diagnostic analytics</h4> <p>Diagnostic analytics is a deep-dive or detailed data analytics process to understand why something happened. It is characterized by techniques such as drill-down, data discovery, data mining, and correlations. In each of these techniques, multiple data operations and transformations are used for analyzing raw data.</p> <h4>3. Predictive analytics</h4> <p>Predictive analytics uses historical data to make accurate forecasts about future trends. It is characterized by techniques such as <a href="https://aws.amazon.com/what-is/machine-learning/">machine learning</a>, forecasting, pattern matching, and predictive modeling. In each of these techniques, computers are trained to reverse engineer causality connections in the data.</p> <h4>4. Prescriptive analytics</h4> <p>Prescriptive analytics takes predictive data to the next level. It not only predicts what is likely to happen but also suggests an optimum response to that outcome. It can analyze the potential implications of different choices and recommend the best course of action. It is characterized by graph analysis, simulation, complex event processing, neural networks, and recommendation engines.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="lb-none-v-margin lb-grid lb-small-pad lb-grid" data-eb-item-id="seo-faq-pairs#what-are-the-different-data-analytics-techniques"> <div class="lb-row lb-row-max-large lb-snap"> <div class="lb-col lb-tiny-24 lb-mid-24"> <h2 class="lb-txt-bold lb-txt-none lb-txt-28 lb-h2 lb-title" id="seo-faq-pairs#what-are-the-different-data-analytics-techniques">What are the different data analytics techniques?</h2> <div class="lb-txt-14 lb-rtxt"> <div> <div> Many computing techniques are used in data analytics.
