When you remove steering, both groups simply do statistical modelling. From my observations, the main difference is that stats people make simpler models, test well, but are a victim of mathematical tendency to build on too optimistic assumptions; CSists are closer to the data, make more complex models and do poor verification (but thus report better accuracies). Regardless of the actual performance, stats has traditional monopoly in biomedics (minus neuro* stuff) and CS in engineering.
