Table 3.

Classical Statistics vs. Machine Learning.

Classical statistics Machine learning
(1) Originates from mathematics (1) Originates from computer science
(2) Inferring relationships (2) Building algorithms
(3) Quantifying uncertainty (3) Predicting outcomes
(4) High degree of manual programming (4) Learns from experience - less programming
(5) One model at a time (5) Multiple models in parallel
