Abstract |
Massive data sets are not unlike small to large data sets in one respect, namely, it is essential to know their context before one starts an analysis. The context will dictate the types of analyses attempted. However, the sheer size of a massive data set may challenge and defeat a statistical methodology designed for smaller data sets. This paper discusses the resulting problems and possibilities generally, and more specifically, considers applications to environmental monitoring data. |
