What our students say:

“I realized one of my work projects would benefit from deeper statistical analysis, including functions I had a good background in and knew at one time, but I needed to dust the cobwebs off and catch up to changes in the field.” Douglas D. Reimel, Jr.

"I’ve increased my exposure in my department and profession because I have experience with a number of data analysis approaches. I’ve been asked to give guest lectures in other classes on statistical methods and different strategies, and I was asked to present at a national conference." Todd Lewis, Ph.D., Associate ProfessorDepartment of Counseling and Educational DevelopmentSchool of EducationUniversity of North Carolina at Greensboro

"We’re trying to make it easier for patients to get their prosthetic arms to do exactly what they want them to do. I’ve applied what I’ve learned through my statistics.com courses, such as Baysian statistics, computing techniques, biostatistics, clinical trials, analysis and sensitivity software, bioavailability, probability distributions, data mining, and designing experiments to map brain impulses to muscle movement, which ultimate...

"Traditionally, reports are designed to summarize data, but they can only tell you what happened. I'm applying data mining algorithms I've learned in my Statistics.com coursework to ask why something happened." Susan StranburgSoftware Developer

"My courses help me look at more complex problems using different approaches to show more interesting aspects of conditions, beyond just tables and charts, more than just sampling or descriptive statistics." Cristobal BazanUnited Nations agency

I hear IT people complaining that they’re always needing to learn new technology because things in their field evolve and change quickly. The same thing is true in analytics. New techniques are developing rapidly. Robert Wood Director, Advanced Analytics Group, Merkle
