Maybe not a primary component of economics, but its sad how little statistics is a part of CS. Dealing with things at scale makes statistics/probability integral and many of the most interesting ML algorithms don't come from CS backgrounds, but from statistics (Random Forests) and Convex Optimization (EE/Math).
