With the advent of so-called "Big Data", the vital role that statistics plays within a business environment is seen as one of the most important domains for any business manager to tap into. Business Analytics can be defined as a body of methods drawn from statistics, operations research, and data mining. Often our colleagues in the data mining community have the loudest voices in the advancement of Business Analytics, and it is crucial that statisticians develop a voice loud enough to match our colleagues. The SSA Business Analytics community is a home where statisticians, operations researchers, and data miners can come together for mutual learning and promotion of the field.

The Business Analytics Section is Co-Chaired by Dr Mark Griffin (Insight Research Services Australia) and River Paul (Australian Financial Security Authority).

Details of our upcoming events will be announced shortly.
