[情報] Why Statistics?
Marie Davidian, ASA president-elect, and Thomas A. Louis authored
an editorial entitled "Why Statistics?" in the current (April 6)
issue of Science.
As demand increases for people to interpret the growing swathes
of data we collect, statisticians are becoming the new cool kids on
the tech block. Meghna Sachdev chats with Marie Davidian, Professor
of Statistics at North Carolina State University, and Thomas A. Louis,
Professor of Biostatistics at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of
Public Health, about their editorial 'Why Statistics?' in the current
(April 6) issue of Science.

About Big Data: Researchers in a growing number of fields are
generating extremely large and complicated data sets, commonly
referred to as "big data." A wealth of information may be found
within these sets, with enormous potential to shed light on some
of the toughest and most pressing challenges facing the nation.
To capitalize on this unprecedented opportunity--to extract insights,
discover new patterns and make new connections across disciplines—
we need better tools to access, store, search, visualize and
analyze these data.
