A New Era of Statistical Science: A Special Conference in Honor of Prof. Dipak Dey’s 70th Anniversary
Statistical science has been a crucial discipline in our understanding of the world around us. It is the science of collecting, analyzing, and interpreting data, and it has been used in a wide range of fields, including social sciences, medicine, engineering, and business. However, recent advances in technology and computing power have paved the way for a new era of statistical science.
This new era of statistical science is driven by the rapidly increasing availability of data and advances in computing technology. As a result, statisticians and data scientists are now able to analyze and make sense of vast amounts of complex and diverse data, providing new insights and understanding of phenomena that were once impossible to fully comprehend. This has led to a paradigm shift, where traditional statistical methods are being combined with novel techniques to create more accurate and efficient models for data analysis and interpretation.
