The symposium aimed to highlight the importance of data analysis as a fundamental process through which data is collected, organized, interpreted, and presented, with the aim of drawing accurate conclusions or supporting evidence-based decisions.
During the symposium, the lecturer discussed the role of mathematical models and probability theory in data analysis within the field of mathematical statistics, given their importance in understanding patterns and predicting future outcomes.
The symposium also addressed data types, which are divided into:
