"Being able to harness the power of data is hugely important in this day and age. Problem-solvers all around the world, in all kinds of disciplines, are using this information." - Jeremy Forbes (Master of Business Analytics)
"We must give statistics students the skills to dive into the data ocean. The academics I work with at Monash follow this principle, guiding their students to take wild-caught data through the full process of analysis and effective communication of findings." - Hadley Wickham (Chief Scientist, RStudio).
