We would first like to thank the authors for writing this thought-provoking article on such an important topic. This piece explores the intersection of data science and statistics in a world increasingly concerned with the analysis of massive data sets. The authors consider seven areas in which the increased presence of big data may alter and expand traditional statistical approaches; they give an overview of the emerging field of data science; and they provide two examples of statistical analyses driven by big data. Finally, they provide some insight into the future of statistics, imagining it as one piece of the multi-faceted and evolving field of data science. The authors stress the role that big data has and will continue to have in the development of data science as a field of study, and in the ways that statistics as a discipline must adapt. We would like to note that the field of statistics already has a long history of evolution. The study of statistics dates at least to the late 18th century, when scholars like Laplace and Legendre applied mathematical statistics to problems in the field of astronomy. Through the 19th century, probability theory was further developed and applied to problems in the social sciences by mathematicians like Gauss and Poisson. Entering the 20th century and the modern era of statistics, scholars developed the analysis of variance and regression to study heredity (Stigler 1986). The pace of change only increased in the 20th century, moving beyond the realm of genetics to tackle problems from agriculture to manufacturing and from marketing to medicine. Thus, the field of statistics grew out of the desire to answer complicated questions in new and innovative ways. We see no reason to doubt that, as it always has, the field of statistics will continue to evolve in the presence of new problems, regardless of the form that they take.
