The dataset classifying engine is configured to calculate a characterization function that represents a dataset and compute a feature vector for the dataset, where the feature vector encodes slope value changes corresponding to the characterization function. The dataset classifying engine receives a classification model and applies the classification model to the feature vector to identify a statistical distribution for the dataset.
