A Personal Perspective on the Origin(s) and Development of Big Data”: The Phenomenon, the Term, and the Discipline (Francis X. Diebold, 2012)
Abstract: I investigate Big Data, the phenomenon, the term, and the discipline, with emphasis on origins of the term, in industry and academics, in computer science and statistics/econometrics. Big Data the phenomenon continues unabated, Big Data the term is now rmly entrenched, and Big Data the discipline is emerging.
