Speaker Bio: 

Shane Hall graduated from Penn State in 2011 with a Bachelors in Statistics and Masters in Applied Statistics. He started his Civilian career at US Army Public Health Command as their Command Statistician. In 2016 he transferred to US Army Test and Evaluation Command in their Analytics Team. In 2020, he began his role as the division chief for the Analytics & AI Division.

Abstract: 

OEC’s Analytics Team is a small team of folks with statistical/data science expertise that support an entire command. This team supports a command with engineers, computer scientists, prior MIL, and project managers.  Although we are direct support, it is still our duty to improve the analytics knowledge of the command, as our team does not see all data. This team has worked extremely hard over the past couple years to improve the analytical skills of evaluators across AEC. Ultimately, we hope this talk generates discussion on how OTAs and gov organizations, who are predominantly NOT experts in analytics, grow the analytical expertise in their organizations.
