Big data is an area that deals with methods of analyzing, methodically extracting information from and/or otherwise dealing with huge data volumes that are too large or complicated for typical data processing application software such as DBMS to handle.
Big Data is a field that treats ways to analyze, systematically extract information from, or otherwise deal with data sets that are too large or complex to be dealt with by traditional data-processing application software. Data with many cases or rows offer greater statistical power, while data with higher complexity, more attributes or columns may lead to a higher false discovery rate. Big data challenges include capturing data, data storage, data analysis, search, sharing, transfer, visualization, querying, updating, information privacy and data source.
