| Jul 1, 2013 at 22:56 | comment | added | whuber♦ | I have upvoted this because it's a valiant, pithy effort to respond to an extremely broad question. I have some doubts about whether "data mining" involves any statistical modeling, though, and would appreciate seeing an example or a clarification of what you mean by that phrase. | |
