What about “Data Game”?

Figures don't lie, the old
saying, but liars can figure. Put
another way, even accurate and
honest-in-itself data can be
presented in misleading ways
to support a less-than-honest
result. To protect against data-
rich lies, we must learn to
understand the
limitations of data and
how it can be used - even
inadvertently - to mislead.

What is “Data Mining”?
14

Definition
15
Data mining is the application of specific algorithms
for extracting patterns from data. The distinction
between the KDD process and the data-mining step
(within the process) is a central point…

"Data mining" was introduced in the 1990s, but data
mining is the evolution of a field with a long history.
History
http://www.unc.edu/~xluan/258/datamining.html
Data mining roots are traced back along three
family lines:
• classical statistics,
• artificial intelligence,
• and machine learning.

2005….Yahoo!'s users,
through their use of our
network of products,
generate over 10 terabytes
of data per day. This is the
equivalent of the entire text
contents of the library of
Congress. This is data that
describes product usage, and
does not include content,
email, or images, etc.
