Predictive analytics describe the use of statistics and modeling to determine future performance based on current and historical data. Predictive analytics look at patterns in data to determine is event can be occur in future or what problem can be occur.
Different techniques in predictive analytics
- Statistical Foundation
- Probability
- Inferential Statistics

Statistical is used to extract meaningful information from data by applying mathematical computation on data. Math and stats are building block or core of machine learning models / algorithms.
Types of Statistical
