The Department of Business Analytics & Statistics conducts application-focused research that leads to practical insights, tools and solutions. We partner with companies from many industries to work on large data sets. Additionally, we share the University of Tennessee’s IBM-Enabled Advanced Analytics Lab with the Tickle College of Engineering to study unstructured data in a secure environment.
