Extract

Two phenomena have probably affected modern data analysts' lives more than anything else. First, the size of real-world data sets is getting increasingly large, especially during the last decade or so. Second, modern computational methods and tools are being developed which add further capability to traditional statistical analysis tools. These two developments have created a new range of problems and challenges for analysts, as well as new opportunities for intelligent systems in data analysis.
