As massive amounts of varied data become available in many fields, data being generated at unprecedented rates generation (step 1 in the process) is transformed. Continuing technological advances are as a result of advances in information bringing more powerful analytics and changing analysis possibilities (step 2 in the technology and developments such as process). And approaches to new decision making include intelligent machines that may, use of expanded mobile capabilities for example, guide human decision makers. Additionally, data may be automatically (supported by more powerful and generated on actions taken in response to data analytic results, creating an evaluative increasingly widespread bandwidth). New feedback loop. approaches to combining and “making A Twenty-first Century Cycle: Data and Analytics sense of” large amounts of varied data— methods referred to as advanced analytics—are helping to uncover patterns, identify anomalies, and provide insights not suggested by a priori hypotheses. In fact, advanced algorithms are enabling the automation of functions that require the ability to reason; for example, an algorithm may use data on weather, traffic, and roadways to estimate and provide real-time information to drivers on traffic delays and congestion.
