In statistics, Cook's distance or Cook's "D" is a commonly used estimate of the influence of a data point when performing a least-squares regression analysis.
 In a practical ordinary least squares analysis, Cook's distance can be used in several ways: to indicate influential data points that are particularly worth checking for validity; or to indicate regions of the design space where it would be good to be able to obtain more data points.
 It is named after the American statistician R. Dennis Cook, who introduced the concept in 1977.
Data Science Africa (DSA) is a non-profit knowledge sharing professional group that aims at bringing together leading researchers and practitioners working on data science methods or applications relevant to Africa, and providing training on state of the art data science methods to students and others interested in developing practical skills.
 Since 2013, DSA has been organizing conference, workshops and summer schools on machine learning and data science across East Africa.
 Facilitators of Summer School and workshops are researchers and practitioners from the academia, private and public institutions across the world.
David Brian Dunson (born 1972) is an American statistician who is Arts and Sciences Distinguished Professor of Statistical Science, Mathematics and Electrical & Computer Engineering at Duke University.
 His research focuses on developing innovative statistical methods for complex and high-dimensional data.
 Particular themes of his work include the use of Bayesian hierarchical models, methods for learning latent structure in complex data, and the development of computationally efficient algorithms for uncertainty quantification.
 He is currently serving as joint Editor of the Journal of the Royal Statistical Society Series B.
Daniel John Bauer (born June 29, 1973) is an American statistician, professor, and director of the quantitative psychology program at the University of North Carolina, where he is also faculty at the Center for Developmental Science.
 He is known for rigorous methodological work on latent variable models and is a proponent of "integrative data analysis", a meta-analytic technique that pools raw data across multiple independent studies.
George William James (born October 5, 1949) is an American baseball writer, historian, and statistician whose work has been widely influential.
 Since 1977, James has written more than two dozen books devoted to baseball history and statistics.
 His approach, which he termed sabermetrics in reference to the Society for American Baseball Research (SABR), scientifically analyzes and studies baseball, often through the use of statistical data, in an attempt to determine why teams win and lose.
 His "Baseball Abstract" books in the 1980s are the modern predecessor to websites using sabermetrics such as Baseball Prospectus and Baseball Primer (now Baseball Think Factory).
Nathaniel Read Silver (born January 13, 1978) is an American statistician and writer who analyzes baseball (see sabermetrics) and elections (see psephology).
 He is the editor-in-chief of ESPN's "FiveThirtyEight" and a Special Correspondent for ABC News.
 Silver first gained public recognition for developing PECOTA, a system for forecasting the performance and career development of Major League Baseball players, which he sold to and then managed for Baseball Prospectus from 2003 to 2009.
