Training for Applied Statisticians

Presenter

• Ernesto Alfredo Rosa (Argentina)

Abstract

What are the skills a person who studies Statistics must know? Which kind of problems would these people have when they start working in groups with people of different disciplines in private or public institutions? Do they know how to solve those problems? Which is the correct way they would be trained so later they can transmit properly the knowledge they received in their professional studies? Finally: which skills would the statisticians really need to know if they want to solve properly the problems they can have in their daily work? This paper examines the answers to these and other similar questions, based on the experience made by the Tres de Febrero National University (Argentine), for those beginning a Statistics career.
