...I was working with very large databases containing public health data from Missouri Medicaid patients. Working in this setting gave me a much bigger appreciation for what is commonly referred to as "the big data problem", that is, the tradeoff between specificity and volume of data and the special schools of analysis that are necessary to circumvent this (such as Bayesian methods). Although I consider data analysis to be both one of my personal passions...
