The Park City Math Institute (PCMI) 2016 Summer Undergraduate Faculty Program
met for the purpose of composing guidelines for undergraduate programs in Data
Science. The group consisted of 25 undergraduate faculty from a variety of
institutions in the U.S., primarily from the disciplines of mathematics,
statistics and computer science. These guidelines are meant to provide some
structure for institutions planning for or revising a major in Data Science
We critically examine a recent suggestion that "ambiguous" statistics is
equivalent to infinite quon statistics and that it describes a dilute,
nonrelativistics ideal gas of extremal black holes. We show that these two
types of statistics are different and that the description of extremal black
holes in terms of "ambiguous" statistics cannot be applied.Comment: Latex, 9 pages, no figures, to appear in Mod.Phys.Lett.
