Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Regression analysis specifically measures the impact of a set of independent variables on a dependent variable. Supervised data mining, neural networks, and cluster analysis can all involve predicting or classifying outcomes, but may not necessarily be focused on identifying the impact of specific variables. Unsupervised data mining involves identifying patterns in data without a specific dependent variable to analyze.
