Data Science: an Action Plan for Expanding the Technical Areas of the Field of Statistics

William S. Cleveland

International Statistical Review, 2001, vol. 69, issue 1, 21-26

Abstract: An action plan to enlarge the technical areas of statistics focuses on the data analyst. The plan sets out six technical areas of work for a university department, and advocates a specific allocation of resources devoted to research in each area and to courses in each area. The value of technical work is judged by the extent to which it benefits the data analyst, either directly or indirectly. The plan is also applicable to government research labs and corporate research organizations.
