Statistics at the National Innovation Centre for Data

Jonathan Law (National Innovation Centre for Data, Newcastle)

The NICD was created in response to a growing need for skilled data analysts who can effectively utilise the growing volumes of data collected in the information age. The NICD has a team of dedicated staff who work alongside new or existing data analysis teams on a data driven project to train the next generation of data scientists. The NICD have assisted in delivering a range of projects for clients such as Newcastle Building Society, NHS BSA and Procter & Gamble. This presentation is a whirlwind tour of all aspects of delivering a data skills project from problem formation to statistical modelling through to deployment.
