Data Silo

Data Science

An interdisciplinary field using scientific methods, algorithms, and systems to extract knowledge and insights from structured and unstructured data.

Big Data

Extremely large and complex datasets that require advanced computational tools and techniques to store, process, and analyse.

Data Engineering

The practice of designing, building, and maintaining data infrastructure, pipelines, and architectures.

Exploratory Data Analysis

An approach to analysing datasets to summarise their main characteristics, often using statistical graphics and visualisation.

Statistical Modelling

The process of applying statistical analysis to a dataset, identifying relationships and patterns within the data.

Diagnostic Analytics

Analysis techniques focused on understanding why something happened by examining data patterns and correlations.

Time Series Analysis

Statistical techniques for analysing time-ordered data points to identify trends, cycles, and forecasting patterns.

Regression Analysis

A set of statistical processes for estimating the relationships between dependent and independent variables.

Hypothesis Testing

A statistical method for making decisions about population parameters based on sample data evidence.

Bayesian Statistics

A statistical approach that incorporates prior knowledge and updates probability estimates as new data is observed.

Monte Carlo Simulation

A computational technique using repeated random sampling to obtain numerical results for problems with many coupled variables.

Business Analytics

The practice of iterative exploration of organisational data to drive business planning and decision-making.

Techniques such as differential privacy, federated learning, and secure computation that enable data analysis while protecting individual privacy and complying with regulations.

Statistical and machine learning methods for predicting future values based on historical sequential data, applied to demand planning, financial forecasting, and resource allocation.

An abstraction layer that provides business-friendly definitions and consistent metrics on top of raw data, enabling self-service analytics with standardised terminology.

The discipline of analysing data as soon as it becomes available to support immediate decision-making.

A technique for determining which input variables have the most significant impact on model predictions.

Statistical models that predict the likelihood of a specific customer behaviour such as purchasing, churning, or responding to an offer, guiding targeted business actions.

A metadata management tool that helps organisations find, understand, and manage their data assets.

Tools and platforms enabling non-technical users to access and analyse data independently.
