Probability vs Statistics Probability is a measure of the likelihood of an event to occur. Since probability is a quantified measure, it has to be developed with the mathematical background. Specifically, this mathematical build of the probability is known as the probability theory. Statistics is the discipline of collection, organization, analysis, interpretation, and presentation […]
Discrete vs Continuous Data Data is the most salient entity in statistics as it is necessarily the “study of the collection, organization, analysis, and interpretation of data”. The numerical data used in statistics fall in to two main categories. They are discrete data and continuous data. What is discrete data? If the numerical data can […]
Social Science vs Natural Science Social science and Natural science are two subjects that differ from each other in terms of their subject matter. Social science is any study that is centered on society and its development. In short, it refers to any subject that does not come under the gamut of natural sciences. Thus, […]
Sample vs Population Population and Sample are two important terms in the subject ‘Statistics’. In simple terms, population is the largest collection of items that we are interested to study, and the sample is a subset of a population. In other words, sample should represent the population with fewer but sufficient number of items. One […]
这个位于tics vs Statistics There may be some who would baulk at the mere idea of differentiating between mathematics and statistics as they feel that statistics is just a special branch of mathematics that has been developed to tackle with practical problems in real life situations. Though most of the concepts and formulae used in statistics […]
Variance vs Standard Deviation Variation is the common phenomenon in the study of statistics because had there been no variation in a data, we probably would not need statistics in the first place. Variation is described as variance in statistics which is a measure of the distance of the values from their mean. Variance is […]
Data Mining vs OLAP Both data mining and OLAP are two of the common Business Intelligence (BI) technologies. Business intelligence refers to computer-based methods for identifying and extracting useful information from business data. Data mining is the field of computer science which, deals with extracting interesting patterns from large sets of data. It combines many […]
Census vs Sampling Census and sampling are two methods of collecting data between which certain differences can be identified. Before we move forward to enumerate differences between Census and sampling, it is better to understand what these two techniques of generating information mean. A census can simply be defined as a periodic collection of […]
