Workshop on Statistical Data Science

To foster collaboration within the EUt+ data science community, the Darmstadt Institute of Statistics and Operations Research (DISO) hosted the first Workshop on Statistical Data Science. The intent was to provide an opportunity for all partners to share experiences on statistics and statistical programming in data science, as well as to network and to strengthen scientific exchange.
