Someone who enjoys statistics

Is there a single word for someone who likes or loves to examine statistics?


Solution 1:

A statistician is one who collects and/or works with statistics. You are unlikely to find a single word in wide use for someone who enjoys consuming statistics as an amateur pastime, although people often coin such words as needed by appending -[o]phile or -[o]holic to the root word, or to a derivative of it: statophile, statoholic.

Solution 2:

The closest I can think of is a number-cruncher:

a person or thing that performs a great many numerical calculations, as a financial analyst, statistician, computer, or computer program.

More generic words for people who like math are nerd and geek or coined words like mathophile.
