How similar to data mining is statistics – and how different?

(1/1)

Kamrulstat:
Both data mining and statistics are related to learning from data. They are all about discovering and identifying structures in them, thus aimed at turning data to information. And although the aims of both these techniques overlap, they have different approaches.

Statistics is only about quantifying data. While it uses tools to find relevant properties of data, it is a lot like math. It provides the tools necessary for data mining.

Data mining, on the other hand, builds models to detect patterns and relationships in data, particularly from large data bases.

To demystify this further, here are some popular methods of data mining and types of statistics in data analysis.
