Statistics Research Department at AT&T Labs

Our research is in the fundamentals of statistics and data mining as well as methodology for the real-world problems motivated by the massive data sets at AT&T. As a direct descendant of the Bell Labs Statistics group, we have a rich history aging back to Walter Shewhart's invention of control charts, and John Tukey's pioneering work in theoretical statistics and data analysis. We are an industry leader in fraud detection methodology, and with some of the largest data sets in the world, we are pioneers in models for data mining on massive data sets.
