Statistical Learning
Sep 23, 2025
A branch of AI that focusses on finding patterns in data using maths and statistics.
Big Picture
- A subset of machine learning
- A classical math approach to AI that uses mathematical models such as regression and classification
- Uses neural networks for deep learning
How It Works
- Uses probability and statistics to make decisions
- Methods
- Regression - predicting a number, for example average time for a task to run
- Classification - categorizing data, for example labelling suspicious web traffic in a firewall
- Clustering - grouping similar items, for example anomaly detection in user login
