that are made based on current data. There are different tactics and methods to
do these predictions such as artificial intelligence, data mining, modeling,
and so on. Historical data also plays an imperative role in predictive
analytics. With the rise in globalization and immense competition in the
corporate world, companies are very keen in planning their future strategies
and due to this reason; predictive analytics is widely used to minimize risk.

methodology to minimize their future risk. Both, structured as well as
unstructured data is used for conducting predictive analytics. Structures data
helps in determining the demographics of the target market such as their age,
religion, gender, marital status, and so on. On the other hand, unstructured

companies hire professionals for this job. There are experts who conduct
predictive analytics and perform everything from data collection to analytics.
