Methodological review demonstrates how data mining and machine learning enhance classical statistical modeling, suggesting a unified framework for explanation and prediction.

Key Points

To examine how data mining and machine learning methodologies complement traditional statistical approaches to discover novel patterns and enhance both predictive and explanatory modeling in big data.
Synthesized conceptual frameworks integrating deductive and inductive approaches to knowledge discovery from massive datasets.
Evaluated automated and semi-automated analytical strategies for addressing causal heterogeneity, non-additive interactions, and nonlinear predictors.
Data mining effectively complements traditional model-building by improving goodness of fit and identifying significant hidden nonlinear patterns without replacing underlying domain theory.
Combining modern predictive algorithms with classical parameter estimation regressions produces robust hybrid models capable of simultaneous causal explanation and high-accuracy prediction.
