statphd Posted January 30, 2018 Posted January 30, 2018 What are the main research focuses of the Yale Statistics Department? For someone interested in machine learning, statistical genetics, and computational methods, would it be a good fit? Any general pros/cons about the department? I know it's a small department, so wondering how its size sets its apart from other institutions (in both good or bad ways).

I'm not applying to this program but I am senior English major trying to graduate (also in the graduate interview process) who is struggling in applied statistics. Because I've been going through all these interviews I've been having a hard time focusing on math, when I'm too busy researching about all these schools. This is hella weird but I'm in desperate need of any type of tutoring! Do any of you have any advice or sites that may help me. I also live in the Nashville area so if any of you know anything there that could help me that would be great. Just thought I'd take a shot and ask lol! This is not the right venue for this type of question. I suggest you reach out to your local department, they may be able to hook you up with a student looking to do some tutoring. insert_name_here 1
ErdosJr Posted February 2, 2018 Posted February 2, 2018 (edited) I really felt like Yale's statistics department looked a bit lackluster and small in the machine learning department. But I guess the Yale name is worth a lot! It mainly depends on what kind of universities your applying too. If you could list those, then we could compare the pros/cons.

In terms of comparing Yale to universities like NC State, UNC, Purdue, Columbia, Texas A&M. Every one of those universities is higher in the rankings than Yale is, but two professors told me that the rankings don't mean as much as I think they do, and that Yale is a top-notch program with incredible faculty and strong students.
