Hunting for Data “You get to derive cool results and then on top of that you can play with numbers” 10 <strong>Contours</strong>
XKCD.COM/1132 ▲ This is one of Ruth's favourite XKCD comics. Next year, Ruth will be teaching a postgraduate course called Bayesian Theory, as part of the newly established MSc in Statistics with Data Science. ■ Statistics is very important in Big Data research because statistical modelling allows you to deal with missing data in formal ways. The techniques Ruth has worked on can be really useful when your data set is imperfect, for example, if you don’t have full access to people’s salaries because of privacy. Ruth is on the programme committee for the Alan Turing Institute (see p.7), providing advice regarding the scientific and innovation programmes for the institute, and is also a part of the recruitment committee for the institute. <strong>Contours</strong> 11
