Limitations of Predictive Analysis

One of the limitations is data quality, the predictive models rely entirely on large and accurate datasets to make realistic predictions. So if the data is inaccurate, biased or incomplete then the model will be flawed. 

The next is overfitting which happens when a model is trained on a particular dataset and becomes too complicated makes it difficult to generalise new data. Because of this it can make inaccurate predictions and poor performance. 

Next is changing conditions, predictive analytics models are made to predict future outcomes based on previous data. However, the future is very uncertain and because of this the conditions can change quickly so it can be very difficult to predict accurately.      

And lastly ethical concerns can make it difficult to predict analysis because of ethical concerns such as bias or privacy. Predictive models can have an already existing bias and discrimination. Also predictive analytics can have privacy concerns due to if personal data is used without consent or is shared with another third party.

Definition of big data

Big data is large and varied collections of data. That cannot be managed by traditional systems. It’s studied to reveal patterns, trends and associations. It was created by Roger Douglas in 2005. The data is so large and complex in its volume, velocity and variety that normal data management/storage systems can’t store, process or analyse due to the mass size of the dataset.

Traditional Statistics

 The traditional statistics of big data mainly revolves around structured data. It involves around statistical techniques which is things such as surveys, interviews, experiment data etc and visualisation's. But it also may include machine learning, data storage and additional techniques. Using a range of data sources such as social media, lot devices or sensors which is used for big data analytics.  https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/difference-between-traditional-data-and-big-data/#:~:text=Traditional%20data%20analysis%20methods%20typically,be%20stored%20and%20managed%20effectively. https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/whats-difference-between-big-data-analytics-traditional-statistical-ojodc#:~:text=Traditional%20statistical%20analysis%20primarily%20deals,surveys%2C%20experimental%20data%2C%20etc.

Characteristics of Big Data Analysis ps

 It’s often described using five main characteristics these being: Volume, value, variety, velocity and lastly veracity.  Volume being the size of the data that is needed to be analysed, value is from the eye of the business which leads to better operations, decisions, customer satisfaction and also being able to see what the business needs to make it succeed, variety which is the range of the data types, velocity is the rate at which companies get, store and manage their data such as on social media if someone asks a question how long it takes for the company to reply to this, and finally veracity which shows the actual accuracy behind the data and the information.   https://www.teradata.com/glossary/what-are-the-5-v-s-of-big-data#:~:text=Big%20data%20is%20a%20collection,variety%2C%20velocity%2C%20and%20veracity.
