“Big Data” is a soundtrack for a mash-up of technical presentations on working with large data sets.
The definition of big data is data that contains greater variety, arriving in increasing volumes and with more velocity. This is also known as the three Vs. Put simply, big data is larger, more complex data sets, especially from new data sources.
Big data primarily refers to data sets that are too large or complex to be dealt with by traditional data-processing application software. Data with many entries offer greater statistical power, while data with higher complexity may lead to a higher false discovery rate.
