We had a blast at the 2nd Annual Data Fest!
The 2nd Annual Data Fest hosted by the Department of Statistics and Biostatistics - in partnership with the American Statistical Association (ASA) – was a success with over 45 students from different departments and Skyline community college. With some amazing mentorship and hard work, students learned data wrangling on an entirely different level.
DataFest is a celebration of data in which teams of undergraduate & graduate students work around the clock to find and share meaning in a large, rich, and complex data set.
A special shout out to Professor Eric Fox for leading the efforts in hosting the event.
Best in Show - Dan Hoang, Esther Ki and Gyubeen Park
Best Use of Statistical Analysis - Taylor Hansen, Huiting Wu, Matt Ko and Thao Tran
Best Visualization - Dongping Guo, Gurjas Singh, Peter Nguyen and Rohan Bierneni
