Predictive analytics: the concept and the main principles According to the SAS Institute, predictive analytics is the use of data, statistical algorithms and machine learning techniques to determine the probability of future outcomes based on historical data. The goal is to go beyond knowledge of past statistics to give the best estimate of what will happen in the future.
