About
In July 2026 I became the Dean and John E. Anderson Chair at UCLA Anderson School of Management. Previously I was the John. H. Harland Dean at Emory's Goizueta Business School. I'm a Data Scientist at the weekends (the sexy name for a Statistician). You can follow the exploits of a Statistician turned Dean/Data Scientist on my LinkedIn account.

As the scale and scope of data collection continue to increase across virtually all fields, statistical learning has become a critical toolkit for anyone who wishes to understand data. An Introduction to Statistical Learning provides a broad and less technical treatment of key topics in statistical learning. Each chapter includes an R lab. This book is appropriate for anyone who wishes to use contemporary tools for data analysis.
