Statathon, an annual event featured at the NESS Symposium,
is a statistical data science invention marathon. Anyone who
has an interest in data science can attend Statathon to approach a real
world data science problem, some of which are local, in new and innovative
ways. It emphasizes the statistical aspects (insight, interpretation,
significance, etc.) of data science problems that are often overlooked in
many hackathons.
