“The Biostatistics concentration of the program helped me prepare for a job in the market. Survival analysis and experimental design are widely used, especially in big tech companies. A/B testing requires deep knowledge in experimental design; survival analysis is useful to predict user churn for a company and credit default models for banks.”
