Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Online analytic processing (OLAP) is a decision support methodology that allows users to analyze data from multiple perspectives or dimensions. OLAP technology enables users to drill down into data and retrieve meaningful insights that are not immediately apparent from a flat, static report. Other options such as data mining, market basket analysis, and neural networks are also useful techniques for analyzing data but do not necessarily involve multiple dimensions. Data transformation is a preprocessing step that prepares data for analysis and is not directly related to decision support methodology.
