Aggregate Data
In statistics, aggregate data are data combined from several measurements. When data are aggregated, groups of observations are replaced with summary statistics based on those observations. In a data warehouse, the use of aggregate data dramatically reduces the time to query large sets of data.
Discovery Data
Data discovery, in the context of IT, is the process of extracting actionable patterns from data. The extraction is generally performed by humans or, in certain cases, by artificial intelligence systems.
Inference
A conclusion reached on the basis of evidence and reasoning.
