Analytics
Under analytics (from the Greek ἀναλύειν analyein ' to dissolve') one understands the science that deals with the implementation of a systematic investigation of a state of affairs or an object by "dissolving" this object, i.e. separating it into all of its determining factors or components . The investigation process as such is analysis .
areas of expertise
- In mathematics , analytical geometry represents a “dissolution” of geometric structures such as points, straight lines and curves in algebraic relationships (numerical relationships). It is carried out with the help of a coordinate system . The search is for a mathematical formula that can be used to calculate the various interdependent numerical values. Such formula relationships enable a constructive representation of geometrical or, more generally, graphic structures and are therefore also called analytical assignments . Analytics is the study of such formulaic inference and evidence.
- In Aristotle's philosophy , analytics is the art of dissecting concepts, logic ( analytike [ techne ]). According to Kant, the transcendental analytics “ carries the elements of pure intellectual knowledge and the like. the principles without which no object can be thought anywhere ”. (KrV B 87) Such “general elements of pure intellectual knowledge” are, according to Kant, the categories ( metaphysical deduction ). (KrV B 95, 106, 159) Analytics is a means of assessment, not an instrument for producing substantive knowledge ( explanatory judgment ). (KrV B 95 f.) As far as principles are concerned, Kant distinguishes between empirical and pure use of concepts. The latter proves to be independent of all experience and only makes experiences possible. Kant calls it a priori . Kant makes use of the comparison with legal terminology and describes the fundamental claim to knowledge as question quid juris (epistemological deduction), that which concerns the empirical-concrete facts as question quid facti . (KrV B 116 f.) - Analytical philosophy is a modern philosophy developed in continuation of neo-positivism in England, which has found widespread use above all in the USA and in individual Eastern European countries.
- In psychology , analytical procedures were followed by elemental psychology . The psychoanalysis and analytical psychology have followed similar objectives, by adopting a structure associated with mental processes. The “structuralists” faced the “functionalists” . While the structuralists took an analytical point of view, the functionalists took a synthetic point of view.
- In chemistry , analytics is a sub-area that deals with the investigation techniques for the composition of substances ( analytical chemistry ).
- The Theoretical Astronomy uses analytical models of processes, supplemented by mathematical and physical simulations .
