Overview

The fields of Statistical and Data Science is growing exceptionally fast. As technology continues to reshape our world, more and more data are being collected on any number of subjects. There is a growing belief among decision makers that these data can be useful. Yet the process of transforming data into actionable information is challenging.

To analyze modern streams of data, government agencies, nonprofits (NGOs) and private industries seek data analysts with technical skills (programming ability), the ability to reason quantitatively about data and uncertainty, and strong communication skills (in written, oral and visual forms). People with these skills are in high demand.

Statisticians use their deep understanding of mathematics and probability theory to reason about variation and uncertainty in data. For example, if a drug was observed to have a positive effect on patient outcomes in a clinical trial, was that effect large enough—given the sample size and assumptions about how the data was collected—to justify concluding that the drug actually worked? Statisticians build, validate and interpret models. They design experiments and collaborate with scientists of all stripes to make precise estimates of unknown quantities.

Data science is an emerging field that combines elements of mathematics, statistics and computer science to extract meaning from data. Data scientists work with large, complex, messy and live data sources. Often working on questions that are not well-defined, data scientists use their creativity and technical ability to dig deep into "Big Data." They build models, make predictions, and develop static and dynamic ways to visualize data.

While at Smith College, statistics students have created innovative classroom activities, authored honored theses, developed sophisticated statistical software and contributed to the Office of Institutional Research.
