Its good to remember that statistics is the basis of all useful problem solving:
Making Statistics Work in the Real World
Wharton's Bhaswar Bhattacharya discusses his research on statistical methods.
The field of statistics is about more than just crunching numbers. Wharton statistics professor Bhaswar Bhattacharya is researching the best ways to apply statistical methods to solve problems in a range of fields, from health care to marketing to languages. Bhattacharya spoke with Knowledge@Wharton about shedding new light on one of the oldest mathematical disciplines.
(Podcast) An edited transcript of the conversation follows. ....
Knowledge@Wharton: Could you give us a brief summary of your research and what kind of question you were trying to answer?
Bhaswar Bhattacharya: My research interests are the intersection of statistics probability and combinatorics. Recently, numerous and very interesting combinatorial and graph theory-related problems have emerged in statistics, mainly because of the ubiquitous presence of network data and the increasing use of graph-based methods in modern-day analytics. As a consequence, many interesting connections have emerged between modern statistical methods and classical concepts in geometry and probability. You can use them to solve interesting problems in statistics. .... "
