We all learn from experiences in everyday life and make predictions for the future. Statistics is an area of study in which we systematically investigate optimal ways of learning from experiences (data) and make rational predictions. Ian Hacking, a philosopher at the University of Toronto, once noted that statistics, as a means of empirical science, was one of the greatest inventions of the 20th century, comparable to the discovery of the theory of relativity by Einstein. I propose the following projects for further advancements of statistics. Each may represent a small step. Accumulation of these small steps, however, goes a long way toward the goal of statistics:

我们都从日常生活中的经验中学习，并对未来做出预测。统计学是一个研究领域，我们系统地研究从经验（数据）中学习的最佳方法，并做出合理的预测。多伦多大学哲学家伊恩·哈金曾指出，统计学作为实证科学的一种手段，是20世纪世纪最伟大的发明之一，可以与爱因斯坦发现相对论相媲美。我建议开展以下项目，以进一步推动统计工作。每一个都可能是一小步。然而，这些小步骤的积累对实现统计目标大有帮助：
