Season 3 - Episode 8 - Statistics and Data Science

SciLux

For the second episode of this year and eighth episode of this season we had a pleasure to talk to prof. Christophe Ley from the University of Luxembourg. Christoph told us a lot about statistics and how important it is in our lives - sport lives included. We also looked how closely related statistics and data science are. Could it be that data science is just statistics 2.0? Listen to find out!
