The sentence "Patterns in Anecdote is Data" could be grammatically correct depending on the context, but it might be more clear to rephrase it slightly. Here's why:

"Anecdote" is usually used as a countable noun, so you usually see "an anecdote" or "anecdotes." In the phrase "Patterns in Anecdote," it might be clearer to say "Patterns in Anecdotes" if you're talking about patterns observed across multiple anecdotes.

"Data" is often treated as a plural noun in academic and formal writing (the singular form being "datum"). So, if you are following this convention, you might say "Patterns in Anecdotes are Data."

So a grammatically correct version might be: "Patterns in Anecdotes are Data".

However, it's worth noting that in everyday language, many people use "data" as an uncountable noun that takes a singular verb. Also, "Anecdote" could potentially be interpreted as a collective noun referring to anecdotal evidence as a whole, in which case a singular verb would be appropriate.

In this context, the original phrase could be interpreted correctly, but it's less conventional and might be confusing to some readers.
