Through class projects that are coordinated by the instructor with the Hub for Predictive Analytics and Data Science (PADS), students will become immersed in the work environment they can expect to encounter after graduation. These experiences may involve initial client meetings, providing advice and statistical support, delivering reproducible analyses, presentations, reports, and online interactive applications. PADS is unit that operates fully within the Dr. Bing Zhang Department of Statistics and is housed in MDS 305. It had been designed, in part, to partner with your instructor on the facilitation of these on-campus experiences.
