a)
What is prescriptive analytics
Data-driven analysis that suggests next steps for implementation is called "prescriptive
analytics." These kind of analyses are useful because they provide actionable insights by taking
into account all relevant elements. For this reason, prescriptive analytics is a powerful resource
for evidence-based policymaking.
What did I learn
Importance of prescriptive analytics-
The ability to make good choices has increased: With the aid of prescriptive analytics, your
company can allocate its resources more effectively. As a result of its ability to foresee future
trends, it can direct your company's resources toward the most promising opportunities. When
and how to roll out a new marketing campaign, for instance, or what new items to produce.
Process Improvement and Optimization: Because it can foretell which areas need greater
effort, this form of analytics may help you optimize your business operations. Businesses may
better serve their clients by learning about their wants and requirements.
Profits Go up: If you can anticipate trends, you can use that knowledge to your advantage and
boost revenue. Insight into the wants and needs of your target market allows you to produce
items that successfully fulfill their demands. Analytical methods of this kind can also be used to
determine which promotional initiatives have yielded the best results. Prescriptive analytics may
also aid in determining whether goods and services are not selling well.
The inner workings of prescriptive analytics-
Prescriptive analytics is based on artificial intelligence, more especially the discipline of machine
learning. Machine learning is a collection of algorithms and models that enables computers to
make conclusions based on relationships and patterns in statistical data.
For instance, the Bayes classifier is a popular machine learning method that determines the
conditional likelihood of an event occurring using a statistical model called the Bayes' Theorem.
Another well-known (nonstatistical) machine learning approach is ID3, which builds a decision
tree out of a dataset's potential outcomes. The objective of both statistical and nonstatistical
algorithms is to build a model using historical data that can take new inputs and predict the
results of those inputs.

Use of prescriptive analytics in my personal life
If I were to apply prescriptive analytics to my own life. The time has come for us to consider
investing in the stock market. The purpose of a stock market prediction system is to foresee how
stocks will move in the future. The system uses charts and statistics to report on the latest
happenings in the stock market, and it also provides a real-time news feed for each firm. The
goal of employing prescriptive analytics is to deliver real-time, effective solutions to any stock
market user, and to advance prediction analysis to a new level. Despite this, the current
infrastructure can foresee stock movements using a number of distinct procedures and
algorithms. Our technology can be tailored to work with virtually any form of prediction
framework, reducing the workload of the predicting system while increasing the investment's
potential return.
