Overview

Stats Callout

Statistics deals with the problem of making inductive inferences in the face of uncertainty. It provides the reasoning and the methods for producing and understanding data. It is learning from data and includes collecting, organizing, analyzing, and interpreting results. Statisticians identify patterns in data to understand them and make decisions in business and industry and in the biological, physical, psychological, and social sciences. Statisticians provide the methodology for making important advances in medical and other scientific research arenas, and work at various tasks such as market research, opinion polling, survey management, data analysis, designing statistical experiments, and teaching statistical techniques and theories.

The Department of Statistics has a reputation for outstanding teaching, research, and consulting services. The undergraduate program offers B.A. and B.S. degrees with options in Statistical Computing and Quantitative Management. Students have unusually free access to the faculty, many of whom have received national and international recognition for their work. The degree programs offer students opportunities to diversify their study to include research areas in a variety of academic disciplines. The Statistical Consulting Collaboratory provides faculty and students a rich environment for collaboration in research and instruction, emphasizing statistical/ quantitative approaches. The faculty serves the academic community in many roles—as editors of major academic publications, as authors of major textbooks and research monographs, and as consultants to business, government, and international organizations.
