Data and statistical science consists of a body of tools, concepts, and algorithms for collecting, analyzing, and interpreting data. It is an integral part of ISyE, where engineers are trained in understanding the system by collecting and analyzing data. Learning data science and statistics enables one to efficiently and cost-effectively gather data and build empirical models to describe and understand the performance of the system that can be used for prediction, control, optimization, and decision-making.
