- JumpCrisscross 8y ago> do you think a physics degree or a statistics degree is better suited to doing data analysis, and why? For finance, physics 100%. (The more experimental, the better.) When you're forced to map your theories to reality, and deal with the divergence, you develop an intuition for a certain set of problems. Those problems recur in commercial data science.
- SantalBlush 8y agoI'm not sure how this speaks to the superiority of physics over stats in this regard.
- sidlls 8y agoDepends on the context of the analysis and the desired outcome. What does that have to do with my comment or the GP's?
- SantalBlush 8y agoReading through the thread, it looks like you believe that physicists can perform data analysis better than statisticians, because a physics program includes some stats courses.
