k.Statistical techniques

Statistical approaches are at the heart of the majority of data mining analytics. The various analytics models are focused on mathematical principles that produce numerical values that can be used to achieve clear business goals. In image recognition systems, neural networks, for example, use complex statistics based on various weights and measures to decide if a picture is a dog or a cat. Statistical models are one of artificial intelligence's two primary branches. Some mathematical methods have static models, while others that use machine learning improve over time.
