Our Mission and Vision
The Center for Predictive Analytics (C-PAN) was founded in response to the growing need for data scientists across all disciplines. Although computational power continues to advance, and high volumes of data can now be collected and stored, many data resources remain untapped. C-PAN is dedicated to the development of innovative data analysis solutions that enable our industry, government and academic partners to utilize their data to its fullest potential while also providing real-world training opportunities to the next generation of data scientists.
