Analytics is the realm of the data scientist and consists of attempts to find hidden patterns and develop predictions from an overwhelming amount of data. To be valuable, all this analysis needs to be at or near real time to make life-critical decisions. You need to understand the problem being solved and the data necessary to reveal the solution. Only then can a data analysis pipeline be architected well. This chapter exposed several data analysis models as well as an introduction to the four relevant machine learning domains.

These analytics tools are the heart of value in IoT to derive meaning from the nuances of massive amounts of data in real time. Machine learning models can predict future events based on current and historical patterns...
