Bachelor of Statistics in Statistical Data Analytics

The Australian National University

Statistics is data science. Through this major you will learn the tools that will empower the next generation of artificial intelligence, scientific inquiry, and predictive analytics for business and government. It will open you up to the exciting world of data science that is driving significant innovation in the world of start-ups and disrupting the socio-economic landscape. This degree will give you a rigorous mathematical and computational foundation in the areas of statistical learning (aka. machine learning), high-dimensional statistics, data visualisation, and the Bayesian approach that will help you build sophisticated models that capture the uncertainty in the world we live in.Learning OutcomesFormulate statistical solutions to scientific, business, and policy questions while wrangling real world data, which may be messy, large, and complex.Visualise relationships among high dimensional and complex data (time and space).Demonstrate rigorous understanding of the mathematical and computational underpinnings of various statistical procedures.Explain and utilise the Bayesian framework for data analytics appreciate when the Bayesian approach is beneficial.Demonstrate an understanding of the differences between the analysis of Big Data compared to the traditional small or medium scale data setting.
