Developer Guide for Intel® Data Analytics Acceleration Library 2016 Update 4
Intel DAAL analysis algorithms are intended to uncover the underlying structure of a data set and to characterize it by a set of quantitative measures, such as statistical moments, correlations coefficients, and so on. Some of the analysis algorithms also simplify the data: they transform, aggregate, or decompose that data in such a way that the transformed (aggregated or decomposed) data becomes easier to understand and characterize.
