Data patterns are regularities or trends that we can observe in sets of information over time. These patterns help us understand how different factors interact with each other.

#Types of Data Patterns

1. Causal Relations
   This refers to the connections between different events or variables. For example, if sales increase during the holidays, we can say that the holiday season causes a rise in sales.

2. Seasonal Patterns
   Many data sets show changes at specific times of the year. For instance, ice cream sales typically go up in the summer and down in the winter. Recognizing these cycles can help businesses plan better.

3. Word Frequency
   In language, some words appear more often than others. The relationship between how frequently a word is used and its rank in usage can follow specific patterns. For example, a few common words are used a lot, while many words are used very rarely.

Identifying these patterns can help in making informed decisions. For businesses, knowing when to expect a sales increase can guide inventory and marketing strategies. In language studies, understanding word use helps improve communication and content creation.
