DataFest 2018

Columbia Statistics Club

About DataFest
DataFest is a competition organized by Columbia Statistics Club in which teams of up to 5 students work over a weekend to extract insight from a rich and complex dataset. Previous years’ datasets have included job search data from indeed, travel data from the Expedia, census data from the US government. This year’s data set will be introduced at the opening of the event on Friday evening. Each team will conduct the appropriate analysis and solve problems. At the conclusion of the competition on Sunday, each team will have 5 minutes to make a brief presentation of their findings to a panel of judges. Prizes are given for Best in Show, Best Visualization, and Best Use of External Data.
 
DataFest @CSC aims to help students gain more exposure to real-world data and more hands-on data analysis experience. By working in teams, students with varying skill sets will combine their efforts and expand their collective data analysis horizons. Interaction among students, as well as with outside consultants will promote the sense that data analysis is a dynamic, engaging, and vibrant part of our society, as well as a realistic, practical, and fun career path.
