Did big-data kill the statistician?

Note: A version of this piece originally appeared in StatsLife, a publication of the Royal Statistical Society.

Without a grounding in statistics, a Data Scientist is a Data Lab Assistant.

Dear Colleague,

So, here we are again… .I’m in lockdown, and I need to ply my trade the best I can. Thank you for your taking a look, and if you can, buy my book. 

I have just published my first book on IT and data on Amazon.

It’s highly polemic, contrarian and insightful. And there’s a lot of it.

For only $9.99 (8 GBP or 9 EUR – local currency exchange might fluctuate), buy this absolutely fabulous, hilariously funny and factually accurate book on big data and AI before the bit hoarders take it all… it’s for all the IT family. Upstairs and downstairs.
