DESCRIPTION: \n\nThis week\, James McVittie will be telling us about the li
 fe and times of stats:\n\n \n\nStatistics is a subject which relates obser
 ved data to precise mathematical models. How can such a simply stated goal
  be so difficult? In this talk\, we will discuss the work and motivation o
 f various mathematicians who developed the tools used in everyday statisti
 cs. We will examine historical questions such as 'Why was the development 
 of least squares so fundamental to statistics?' and 'Why did the condition
 al probability formula create such divide among statisticians?'. We will t
 hen present the major areas and problems that are now the main focus of st
 atistical researchers and then briefly comment on the different directions
  statistics may take in the future. \n\n \n\nSee you all there! \n\n \n\nA
 ll graduate students are invited. As with all talks in the graduate studen
 t seminar\, this talk will be accessible to all graduate students in math 
 and stats. This seminar was made possible by funding from the ɬÀï·¬ mathe
 matics and statistics departmentand GSAMS.\n
