The team composed of 2017 undergraduate students Wang Yaoqi, Wang Jialuo, and Wu Zixuan from the w88 casino of Statistics of w88 casino won the first prize in the country, and the instructors Xu Yun and Ye Wenrui won the Best Organization Award.
The SAS China University Data Analysis Competition was founded in 2013. It is a non-profit public welfare competition initiated by SAS China specifically for data analysis-related majors in Chinese universities. Since its inception in 2013, the competition has been held for seven consecutive sessions. This competition is jointly sponsored by SAS and the Nanjing Jiangbei New District Management Committee and hosted by the Jiangbei New District Central Business District Construction Management Office. The preliminary round adopts online registration. There are nearly a thousand registered teams from around the world and nearly 3,000 participants. The competition brought together teams from universities such as Peking University, Nanjing University, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, National Taiwan University, and the National Institute of Development Administration of Thailand. The final is divided into two parts: online report submission and on-site defense. The final comprehensive evaluation will select the winner.
On the morning of December 8, the national finals opened at the Nanjing SAS Financial Technology Innovation Center. Each team presented and defended in the order of the draw. The competition topic of the competition team composed of three students from the w88 casino of Statistics is: Research on asset portfolio optimization under the rotation effect of industry sectors. The team members use SAS software, combined with econometrics and mathematical finance knowledge to solve the problem of industry sector rotation in the market and build investment portfolios. Professor Xu Yun and Teacher Ye Wenrui from the w88 casino of Statistics provided on-site guidance. The three team members adapted to the situation at the defense site and gave good answers to the judges’ questions, and finally won the first prize in the country.
Implementing “Three Complete Educations” and Realizing Collaborative Guidance
The achievement of students' excellent results is inseparable from the guidance of teachers. According to the implementation plan of w88 casino’s “three-round education” construction, the w88 casino of Statistics explores service education to meet students’ individual development needs and provide personalized academic guidance. The three students participating this time have a strong interest and ability in the competition after completing their studies. Three students are taking Mathematical Finance taught by Professor Xu Yun this semester, and the knowledge taught in the class provided knowledge support for the competition. The classroom teacher serves as the instructor and provides on-site guidance, allowing the students to be confident and targeted in the competition. Another on-site instructor, Ye Wenrui, is a young "returnee" teacher from the w88 casino of Statistics. He is widely welcomed by students in the w88 casino and is also the class teacher of three students. Teacher Ye attaches great importance to the construction of students' academic style and encourages students to actively participate in various competitions for training and growth. In addition, counselor Deng Wenwen strengthens students' knowledge learning and "practical" ability cultivation in daily education, laying "seeds" for students' practical training. As a result, three students participated in the competition with the collaborative care of their instructors, teachers, counselors, and head teachers, and finally achieved good results.
Funding policy guarantees to help development and improvement
In order to stimulate students' interest in learning, train students' innovative thinking, and improve students' ability to connect theory with practice, teamwork, discover and solve problems, w88 casino's Academic Affairs Office has established discipline competition management measures to encourage undergraduates to participate in various academic and subject competitions. The w88 casino of Statistics, in collaboration with the Office of Academic Affairs, provides competition financial support to participating students, and provides students with transportation, accommodation and other expenses to compete in other places to achieve developmental funding and education, allowing students to put down their financial burdens, devote themselves wholeheartedly to competition training, and improve their abilities.
Meet the expectations of the times and cultivate comprehensive talents
The college encourages teachers to participate in competition guidance. In recent years, many old, middle-aged and young teachers from the college have worked hard for the competition. It is due to their efforts that students from the w88 casino of Statistics have won multiple national first prizes this year.
In the era of big data, data analysis and statistics have shown increasingly irreplaceable importance in economic development, health care, artificial intelligence and other aspects. Based on its disciplinary advantages and relying on the two majors of economic statistics and financial mathematics, the w88 casino of Statistics vigorously cultivates talents needed for social development and encourages students to improve their comprehensive abilities through various practices and high-level competitions. I believe that with the care and support of the w88 casino, the w88 casino of Statistics will cultivate more and more outstanding comprehensive talents.
