Description: Volume reduction is the process of reducing the size of data while maintaining its essential characteristics. This process is fundamental in data preprocessing, as it allows for optimized storage and improved efficiency in analyzing large volumes of information. Volume reduction can involve eliminating redundant data, compressing data, or selecting relevant features that preserve critical information. By reducing the volume of data, it facilitates the handling and visualization of information, which can, in turn, speed up analysis and modeling processes. This approach is especially relevant in contexts where computational resources are limited or where rapid data processing is required, such as in various fields including machine learning and artificial intelligence. Volume reduction not only helps optimize system performance but can also contribute to improving the quality of results by eliminating noise and focusing on the most significant variables.
