Answer 1

Hi,

I am happy to help you with this question.

This question concerns with the two basic type od data in Artificial intelligence analysis.

Qualitative Data: this type of data is basically concerned with the characterstics of data rather than the measurement of data.

It categorizes the data on its qualities , features,etc.

In AI , it is very important in researches that the data which is being analysed is of what form, its characterstics in order to study in a better way.

For Example, If we create a software that studies the color of eyes or texture of skin . This type of analysis requires a qualitative analysis.

Quantitative Data:This type of data concerns with the measurement and amount of data. As we know when we want to create a AI analysis , we study it in terms of how much , in what quantity, etc.

For example,

A software or AI research needs the population of an area .This population is measured in the number of people which is a quantitative value.

Data Type: data type is categories in which a data recieved lies. In AI, it can be divided into 4 categories:

• Numerical data: concerned with numbers. Eg: population, etc.
• Time based data: concerned with the time based value. For example:time, year of production.
• Text: concerns with simple text, string format of data.For example: some letter, news.
• Categorical data :which concerns with a particular category of data. For Example: we store information related to girls, etc.
