Evaluate the drafted changes
The following peer review provides recommendations for how the article can be improved.

Lead

 * The majority of the article so far is the lead. Therefore, it does not sufficiently cover the different sections of the article.
 * Because there are no other sections with explanatory text, it contains more information than the lead should have.
 * The third paragraph in the lead can instead be a starting point for an entirely separate section of the article rather than being in the lead.

Content

 * Missing content for the further explanation of computational statistics. Some ideas for sections that can be added to are:
 * The history of computational statistics
 * Fundamental statistical concepts that computational statistics relies on
 * An elaboration on the major figures in computational statistics (people, companies, and academic institutions).
 * Can cover equity gaps in this section too, key figures that are typically underrepresented in the field of computational statistics.
 * The content that is present does seem up to date, but does not necessarily include many sources and references from the past decade. It may help to use sources from 2015 onwards.

Tone and Balance

 * Content in the lead does not seem neutral, see the second sentence in the first paragraph of the lead. It helps to avoid words like "should"
 * There is not much else in the article to critique for tone and balance.
 * When constructing sections, be sure to give them lengths that are proportional to the relevance of the topic to ensure balance.

Sources and References

 * Due to the lack of content, there are sparse references for this article, though there is an extensive list of journals and further reading that can be used as references when making additional sections for the article.
 * Of the three references made, the most recent was in 2010, showing a need for more updated references wherever possible.
 * The further reading section can also be expanded to include more resources from the past five years.

Organization

 * Content is not concise - the third paragraph in the lead is one run on sentence.
 * Frequent redefinition of words makes the content confusing to read.

Images and Media

 * One image of students taken in the 60's.
 * Can use images that support the statistical concepts used in computational statistics.
 * Caption the images in a way that is simple and relates to the text about the image

New Article Comment

 * It does meet notability requirements, several citations from reputable resources are already present in the article
 * Links to other articles so it is discoverable
 * The list of resources, as noted above, can be expanded to be more up to date.
