Statistics and computer science

Proceedings of the 1978 annual conference on - ACM '78, 1978
The impact of computer science on statistical computing, while important, has not been as great as it should. Part of this is caused by statisticians being unaware of relevant research in computer science. A related, and possibly more serious problem, is that computer scientists are not aware of some of the interesting problems in statistical computing.

Biomedical statistics and computation

Information Sciences, 1973
Abstract This paper describes the proceedings of the workshop on Biomedical Statistics and Computation of the Fourth Annual Symposium on the Interface. This was a two day symposium held at the University of California at Irvine on September 17 & 18, 1970. It was sponsored jointly by the ACM, ASA, and the California Mathematics Council. Dr.

Statistics and computing in surgery

Surgery (Oxford), 2003
Abstract The word “statistics” is derived from the Latin for “state”, indicating the historical importance of governmental data gathering, which related principally to demographic information and often to their use in military recruitment and tax collecting. Statistics as an academic study is the science of assembling and interpreting numerical data.

Courses in Statistical Computing and Computational Statistics

The American Statistician, 2004
Statisticians spend a large portion of their working days using the computer. In addition to the standard things that almost everyone does, like E-mail and text processing, and the standard uses teachers make of computers in the classroom, statisticians' use of computers includes data analysis with prepackaged software, development of algorithms and ...

Computer Science And Statistics

Proceedings of the 1978 annual conference on - ACM 78, 1978
This paper develops a theme about a specific, small part of the interface between computer science and statistics - that of kernels of computation. Currently, because of an impending technology revolution, it is important that statisticians and numerical mathematicians take interest in this field.

Computational and statistical indistinguishabilities

1992
We prove that a pair of polynomially samplable distributions are statistically indistinguishable if and only if no polynomial size circuits relative to NP sets (P nu NP -distinguishers) can tell them apart. As one application of this observation, we classify “zero-knowledge” notions that are used for interactive systems.

The Future of Statistical Computing

Technometrics, 2008
This article forecasts the path of statistical computing in the next decade. Its premise is that technology will influence statistical computing more than other factors. This forecast is based on contemporary observations of the field over the last 40 years and on a supposition that extrapolating these trends is not unreasonable. The technology driving

Environment for statistical computing

Computer Science Review, 2008
This paper is a short exposition on the current state of art as far as statistical software is concerned. The main aims are to take a look at current tendencies in information technologies for statistics and data analysis, especially for describing selected programs and systems. We start with statistical packages, i.e. a suite of computer programs that
