Statistics is the science of collecting, organising and interpreting data. Mathematical descriptions of the data collection processes and the statistical analysis are used to determine accurate statistical methods.
The Statistics group is interested in the application of statistical theory in a rich variety of contexts, including:
- Biostatistical issues such as meta-analysis and survival analysis
- Food science statistics such as measuring and describing the quality of consumables
- Environmental applications including population modelling
- Group testing
- Drug testing in sport
- Bioinformatics
- Sample surveys.
The group's link with the Statistical Consulting Centre means that there are research opportunities arising from real-world applications that are readily available.
