probability theory

To comprehend our surroundings, we rely on processed sensory inputs and infer the best action to respond with. In a more complex (or complicated) situation, we often find recorded inputs more reliable than our sole perception. Recorded inputs are data, which may or may not follow a certain structure. In essence, data is distinguishable based on their properties, resulting in different data types. With more collected data, a particular pattern emerges, where we can observe a peculiar behaviour from one pattern compared to the other. Here we discuss the nature of data, viz. its type and distribution.
