These are descriptive statistical analysis techniques which can be differentiated
based on the number of variables involved at a given point of time. For example,
the pie charts of sales based on territory involve only one variable and can be
referred to as univariate analysis.
If the analysis attempts to understand the difference between 2 variables at time
as in a scatterplot, then it is referred to as bivariate analysis. For example,
analysing the volume of sale and a spending can be considered as an example of
bivariate analysis.
Analysis that deals with the study of more than two variables to understand the
effect of variables on the responses is referred to as multivariate analysis.
Linear regression is a statistical technique where the score of a variable Y is predicted from the score of a second variable X. X is referred to as the predictor variable and Y as the criterion variable.
Estimating a value from 2 known values from a list of values is Interpolation. Extrapolation is approximating a value by extending a known set of values or facts.
An experimental design technique for determining the effect of a given sample size.
The process of filtering used by most of the recommender systems to find patterns or information by collaborating viewpoints, various data sources and multiple agents.
