Table 2 Comparison of data processing with AI tools and statistical tools
From: AI and machine learning for soil analysis: an assessment of sustainable agricultural practices
Advantage | AI processing of data | Statistical tool |
|---|---|---|
Handling complex data | Structured and unstructured text, images, etc. | Designed for structured data with known distributions |
Predictive power | Forecasting, classification, and anomaly detection are possible | Primarily focused on hypothesis testing and descriptive statistics; may not excel in predictive tasks |
Automation of task | Can automate data preprocessing | Requires more manual intervention |
Adaptability | Can adapt to changing patterns and learn from data | Unadaptable and may need manual adjustments |
Real-time decision-making | Enables real-time decision-making by deploying models as APIs or microservices, supporting applications and services | Used for batch processing and may need manual integration for real-time decision support |
