In the afternoon, as a part of the inaugural event, a technical session has been organized. Professor Rajeeva L. Karandikar and Dr. Arvind Subramanian will deliver lecture.
Statistics evolved as a science in an era where the amount of data available was small and efforts were onto extract maximum information out of that.
Are the techniques developed in that era relevant anymore in the era of Big Data?
We will discuss this. We will illustrate via examples that while some techniques may no longer be relevant, the concepts are as relevant in this era as they were then.
