What do lobster fishing and gambling behaviors have in common? They can both be transformed with the use of data analytics, an essential tool for turning complex data into real-time actionable insights and better informed decisions.
University of Maine at Farmington Professor Lori Koban specializes in data analytics and works closely with her students to prepare them with real-world projects that will train them for their future actuarial and data analytics careers. UMF offers a 21-credit Data Analytics Certificate available both on-campus and online that focuses on real-world data challenges.
In one of her current projects, Koban is working with her data analytics students and a UMF alum who owns a lobster business on the Maine coast.
