Posets are discrete mathematical structures which are ubiquitous in a broad range of data analysis and machine learning applications. Research connecting posets to the data science domain has been ongoing for many years. In this paper, a comprehensive review of a wide range of studies on data analysis amd machine learning using posets are examined in terms of their theory, algorithms and applications. In addition, the applied lattice theory domain of formal concept analysis will also be highlighted in terms of its machine learning applications.
