It is the transformation of numerical or alphabetical digital information derived empirical or experimentally into a corrected, ordered, and simplified form [computer science]
types of data reduction
Francis Clauser has written: 'Reduction of flight performance data'
Data abstraction is the reduction of a body of data to a simplified representation of the whole. Data abstraction is usually the first step in database design in order to create a simplified framework that can be added to in order to complete the database.

The answer is generally no. I note there is no hard and fast definition of the field of statistics. The definition of the field or discipline of statistics is not to reduce the number of values in the set of collected data. An objective of statistics is to characterize or add meaning to the collected data, through calculated values of the data. In this sense, statistics summarizes the data.
Bandwidth compression is a term used in telecommunication, and it has two meanings. The first meaning of the term states that bandwidth compression is the reduction of bandwidth needed to forward a specific amount of data in a specific amount of time. The second meaning states that bandwidth compression is the reduction of time needed to forward a specific amount of data in a given bandwidth.
