A newly formed data analytics team from the Freed-Hardeman University - College of Business won one of the three top prizes in its first intercollegiate competition.
Competing against schools like Johns Hopkins, the University of Maryland, and William & Mary, the five-member FHU team had less than 48 hours to analyze a dataset from the Yale School of Medicine that had more than 2 million rows; event organizers described it as “one of the more open-ended and complex challenges DataFest has provided” and said the data had not previously been studied in-depth.
Team members included: Grant Hunter (team lead), a junior mathematics major from Titusville, Florida; Coy Baker, a junior business analytics and mathematics dual major from Burlington, Kentucky; Dawson Carter, a junior business analytics major from Columbia, Tennessee; Lexi Hearn, a sophomore financial planning major from Kingston Springs, Tennessee; and Tyler Stafko, a sophomore business analytics and sports administration dual major from Freeburg, Illinois.
