Unit

a collection of separate sets of information that is treated as a single unit by a computer: DATASET | meaning in the Cambridge English DictionaryWhat does "unit" mean in "single unit"?I am confused between by dataset and data point.
  

Top answer

"single unit" means something like "single item" or "single entity". As a whole, I find that definition rather confusing, especially the mention of "separate sets", since "a dataset" is almost by definition viewed as a single set.
