Abstract:
|
The statistical foundations, to which we collectively contribute, are without question at the core of modern innovation. In today’s economy, a common phrase is "data is the new gold". Certainly, we live in an age where data is large, ubiquitous, and comes in many forms. Our contributions go beyond "data". We are emerging from a pandemic where statisticians around the globe saved lives by contributing critical understanding to vaccines, treatments, pandemic policies, and management. Our contributions are universal - from self-driving cars to Mars rovers, to sustainable and improved infrastructure, to clean energy and environmental stewardship, to financial markets and investing, to advances in medicine and medical practices, and even toward a better understanding of the communities in which we live, work, learn and play. Over the past 6 months, I have reached out to our community for your top ten list of statistical foundations that contribute to our rapidly evolving world. This talk represents the collective view of our community.
