Applications
Predictive Analytics
Predictive analytics applies statistical and machine learning techniques to historical data to generate probabilistic forecasts. Business applications include demand forecasting, churn prediction, credit risk scoring, and preventive maintenance.
Modern predictive analytics platforms incorporate AI models, real-time data pipelines, and explainability tools. The shift from batch to real-time prediction has increased the value of low-latency ML inference infrastructure.
