What's the Question? Deciding What You Really Want to Know by Prof David J. Hand

This special event is co-hosted by RSS Data Science and AI and ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ. We are delighted to welcome Professor David Hand OBE, who will deliver a talk based on his latest book, What’s the Question? Deciding What You Really Want to Know:

Before any effective data analysis can be undertaken, we must be clear about the precise question we wish to answer and ensure that it is accurately represented in statistical terms. Ambiguous questions or inappropriate analytical approaches can lead to misleading conclusions and poor decisions. In this talk, Professor Hand will explore this challenge through a range of examples, demonstrating how the most obvious method is not always the most appropriate one, from straightforward problems to complex statistical applications.

To celebrate the event, a number of signed copies of Professor Hand’s book will be awarded to attendees through a prize draw.

Followed by a small reception afterwards.
