Computational Statistics

Computational statistics is a field that uses computers to perform statistical analyses. This can include anything from simple calculations to complex simulations. In recent years, the use of computers has become increasingly important in statistics, as the sheer volume of data that is now available has made traditional methods of analysis impractical. Computational statistics allows statisticians to work with larger data sets and to carry out more complex analyses than would be possible by hand. It also enables them to carry out these analyses more quickly, which is often essential when working with real-time data. As a result, computational statistics has become an essential tool for statisticians in a wide range of fields.

Computational statistics is particularly important in data-intensive fields such as genomics and astronomy, where traditional statistical methods are often not feasible.
