报告摘要:  The information world we live in nowadays requires scientists and all citizens to be able to use certain statistical techniques to understand what is happening around us. Applied statistical methods are critical to various disciplines. For example, PM2.5 has been a main environmental concern due to its adverse effects on human health and society. Using data collected from the monitoring station of the U.S. Embassy in Beijing, we assessed air quality improvement trends over the past decade. With more data collected from four nearby monitoring stations of the Chinese Ministry of Environmental Protection, the confirmation of the reliability of PM2.5 data provides more required confidence on the air quality measurements in China. In addition, a clinical study on childhood obesity will also be discussed. At the end, career opportunities for students with statistics, biostatistics and data sciences degrees will be introduced.
