Abstract

This article examines work in “computing with data”—in computing support for scientific and other activities to which statisticians can contribute. Relevant computing techniques, besides traditional statistical computing, include data management, visualization, interactive languages, and user-interface design. The article emphasizes the concepts underlying computing with data, with emphasis on how those concepts can help in practical work. We look at past, present, and future: Some concepts as they arose in the past and as they have proved valuable in current software; applications in the present, with one example in particular, to illustrate the challenges these present; and new directions for future research, including one exciting joint project.
