But not the definition that I was thinking of analytics as:
n. The collation and analysis of data or statistics, esp. by computer, typically for financial or commercial purposes; the data that results from this; (also) software used for this purpose.This definition is very recent compared to the one used in philosophy:
- 1966 - Econ. & Polit. Weekly 15 Oct. 377/1 A correct conclusion from the analytics of comparative statics.
- 1980 - Amer. Banker (Nexis) 25 July Understanding the analytics, setting servicing standards, and selling the system to branch operating folks.
- 2001 - Financial Times 27 Jan. 9/7 (advt.) All the features active traders need, including news, charts, analytics and direct trading capabilities.
- 2009 - A. Kaushik Web Analytics 2·0 xiii. 394 In the last few years I have implemented at least 25 analytics tools on my blog.
