networks as we grow from data banks to data rivers. This chapter is a glimpse of the
basics of analytics and a few predictive analytic models currently employed in the
analytical circle like Multiple regression, logistic regression and K nearest neighbor
model. As we are in the era of machine learning and artificial intelligence, having a
predictive analytical tool in our toolkit is all the more necessary.
