Anatomy of Data Analytics – Part I

Years ago, when I made a switch from procedural to object oriented programming, concepts such as function overloading fascinated me. The simplicity a single function changing and behaving based on the types of values passed to it spoke volumes to its simplicity and elegance. Being a bit nostalgic I am going to say "those were the good old days!". Today, the word Analytics is certainly an overloaded term in the data world! It is used to define work done by data scientists to business analysts and from execution of sophisticated statistical algorithms to the use of simple visualization tools.
