What are the basics of data analytics?

Data analytics involves collecting, processing, and analyzing data to extract meaningful insights. The basics include understanding data types (structured and unstructured), data collection methods (surveys, sensors, transactions), and data cleaning techniques to ensure accuracy. Key analytical methods include descriptive analytics (summarizing data), diagnostic analytics (understanding causes), predictive analytics (forecasting future trends), and prescriptive analytics (suggesting actions). Mastering these fundamentals helps organizations make informed decisions and drive growth.
