DATA 27901. DATAFEST SEMINAR This course is centered around participation in the American Statistical Association DataFest competition, which takes place at regional sites around the nation each spring. Students will prepare for, participate in, and reflect upon their experiences from, the DataFest contest. During the three-day event, students will seek to find valuable information in a large, complex data set. Each five-person team will determine a research question, find relevant literature, build a model, determine conclusions, and present their results in writing and/or orally.
