No, nene no. Statistical techniques start from hypotheses and are validated by tests and confidence intervals.

Here we basically don't care what's our chances of getting it wrong. It's a marginal feature in some email client, not quality control in a brewery.

No, that's just Machine Drunk Brawling, aka. Sophisticated Stupidity.


Certainly Data Mining and applied statistics
