The UCLA Department of Statistics was founded in 1998 and has become a leader in the development of statistical methodology that exploits the increasing availability of data and computing. Over the last three decades, a new interdisciplinary field centered around the ability to access and analyze data has emerged. The field employs advanced mathematics, statistics, and computer science, in concert with the remarkable growth in the capacity of computers, to achieve insights, and to make predictions and decisions in ways that would have been science fiction in 1985. This new field is driven by data and new problems, often in areas where data has not been important before. Taken together this synthesis of questions, data, and tools form what has been popularly called “Data Science”.
