What is the difference between "data mining" and "data analytics"? Are both things the same technically?

    I doubt there is any formal definition particularly for "data analytics", the words will just mean however people use them, & many people will use them in different ways. Your best bet for understanding the range of typical meanings it at the linked thread. – gung - Reinstate Monica Mar 15 '14 at 15:46
  • I associate data mining with not having any preconceived notions or research questions about the data (for example, no response variable has been chosen). – RobertF Mar 15 '14 at 16:59
