It is the transformation of numerical or alphabetical digital information derived empirical or experimentally into a corrected, ordered, and simplified form [computer science]
Data reduction in data mining refers to the process of reducing the volume of data under consideration. This can involve techniques such as feature selection, dimensionality reduction, or sampling to simplify the dataset and make it more manageable for analysis. By reducing the data, analysts can focus on the most relevant information and improve the efficiency of their data mining process.

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.

Reduction typically takes place in various contexts, such as in chemical reactions where a substance gains electrons, often occurring in the presence of a reducing agent. It can also refer to the reduction of carbon emissions in environmental science, where efforts are made to lower the carbon footprint. In data processing, reduction can occur in data analysis techniques that simplify datasets by summarizing or aggregating information. Each context highlights the concept of decreasing or simplifying a particular element or substance.

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.
