Author(s): James Hess*
Companies:
Keywords: Big data
Abstract:

Been working as a statistician for several years? Feel out of the Big Data loop? This roundtable will focus on the experiences of statisticians who received their formal statistical education prior to the Big Data phenomenon, spent most of their careers as an applied statistician in a non-Big Data environment, and then became involved with a Big Data project. What is different? What is the same? Can a statistician with the described background and set of skills even contribute to the project? Come share your experiences with others.

Authors who are presenting talks have a * after their name.
