h oused ▁data ▁through ▁the ▁use ▁of ▁statistics , ▁a ▁predict ive ▁model ▁is ▁developed . ▁These ▁models ▁vary ▁depending ▁on ▁the ▁question ▁nature ▁and ▁type ▁of ▁data . ▁To ▁develop ▁a ▁probability , ▁these ▁models ▁employ ▁statistical ▁regression ▁concepts ▁and ▁techniques . ▁Pred ict ions ▁are ▁made ▁after ▁the ▁use ▁of ▁statistical ▁algorithms . ▁ ▁Act : ▁ ▁The ▁major ▁goal ▁and ▁aim ▁of ▁analyt ics ▁is ▁to ▁enable ▁the ▁institution ▁to ▁take ▁actions ▁based ▁on ▁the ▁prob abilities ▁and ▁predictions ▁made . ▁These ▁actions ▁might ▁vary ▁from ▁in vention ▁to ▁information . ▁The ▁inter vent ions ▁to ▁address ▁problems ▁might ▁be ▁in ▁the ▁form ▁of ▁a ▁personal ▁email , ▁phone ▁call ▁or ▁an ▁autom ated ▁contact ▁from ▁fac ulty ▁advis ors ▁about ▁study ▁resources ▁and ▁skills , ▁such ▁as ▁office ▁hours ▁or ▁help ▁sessions . ▁Und ou bt edly , ▁institutions ▁have ▁to ▁come ▁up ▁with ▁appropriate ▁mechan isms ▁for ▁impact ▁measurement ; ▁such ▁as ▁did ▁the ▁students ▁actually ▁respond ▁or ▁attend ▁the ▁help ▁sessions ▁when ▁invited . ▁Ref ine : ▁Academ ic ▁analyt ics ▁should ▁also ▁be ▁made ▁up ▁of ▁a ▁process ▁aim ed ▁at ▁self - im prov ement . ▁Statistics ▁processes ▁should ▁be ▁contin ually ▁updated ▁since ▁the ▁measurement ▁of ▁project ▁impact s ▁is ▁not ▁a ▁one - time ▁static ▁effort ▁but ▁rather ▁a ▁contin ual ▁effort . ▁For ▁instance , ▁ad mission ▁analyt ics ▁should ▁be ▁updated ▁or ▁re vised ▁year ly . ▁ ▁Com pre h ending ▁In vol ved ▁St ake hold ers ▁Anal ytics
