数据分析和数据挖掘

数据分析( Data Analysis)是一个检查、清理、转换和建模数据的过程，目的是发现有用的信息，得出结论和推动决策制定。
Analysis of data is a process of inspecting, cleansing, transforming, and modeling data with the goal of discovering useful information, suggesting conclusions, and supporting decision-making. Data analysis has multiple facets and approaches, encompassing diverse techniques under a variety of names, in different business, science, and social science domains.

数据挖掘（Data mining）是一个跨学科的计算机科学分支。它是用人工智能、机器学习、统计学和数据库的交叉方法在相对较大型的数据集中发现模式的计算过程。
Data mining is the computational process of discovering patterns in large data sets involving methods at the intersection of artificial intelligence, machine learning, statistics, and database systems. It is an interdisciplinary subfield of computer science. The overall goal of the data mining process is to extract information from a data set and transform it into an understandable structure for further use. Aside from the raw analysis step, it involves database and data management aspects, data pre-processing, model and inference considerations, interestingness metrics, complexity considerations, post-processing of discovered structures, visualization, and online updating. Data mining is the analysis step of the “knowledge discovery in databases” process, or KDD.
