We live in the information age, constantly surrounded by vast amounts of data from the world around us. To utilize this information effectively, it must be mathematically expressed and analyzed using statistics.
Statistics play a crucial role in various fields, including text mining, which has recently garnered significant attention. Text mining is a research method used to identify patterns in texts, which can be in written, spoken, or visual forms.
The applications of text mining are diverse, including text classification, clustering, web mining, sentiment analysis, and more. Text mining techniques are utilized to assign numerical values to textual data, enabling statistical analysis.
Since working with data requires a solid foundation in statistics, statistical tools are employed in text analysis to make predictions, such as forecasting changes in stock prices or currency exchange rates based on current textual data.
By leveraging statistical methods, text mining can uncover, confirm, or refute the truths hidden within textual content. Today, this topic is widely used in machine learning. This paper aims to provide a basic understanding of statistical tools in text mining and demonstrates how these powerful tools can be used to analyze and interpret events.
