Title: What Data Mining Teaches Me About Teaching Statistics

Speaker: Richard De Veaux, Department of Mathematics and Statistics, Williams College

Abstract:
Data mining has been defined as a process that uses a variety of data analysis and modeling techniques to discover patterns and relationships in data that may be used to make accurate predictions and decision. Statistical inference concerns the same problems. Are the two really different? Through a series of case studies, we will try to illuminate some of the challenges and characteristics of data mining. Each case study reminds us that the important issues are often the ones that transcend the methodological choice one faces when solving real world problems. What lessons can these teach us about teaching the introductory course?
