Abstract:

From startups to corporate giants, there is currently a huge demand for statistical insights derived from the wealth of data in existence. Most of the time, critical insights do not come from advanced deep learning or complicated statistical methods; instead, they come from interpreting model results, statistical power tests, and time series analysis. This talk will discuss several key data-based decisions made from statistical insights and offer an industry perspective on the impact and value of statistics.
