Statistical science researches statistical models and methods for rational inference, effective prediction and discovery of new knowledge based on the effective use of data in the face of complex and uncertain phenomenon and information explosion.
The Statistical Science program aims to cultivate individuals who possess creative research skills to contribute to solving various important intricately-intertwined problems. To this end, the Department conducts education and research related to the basis, mathematics and applications of data collection designs, modeling, inference and prediction, and equip students with the ability to extract information and knowledge from the real world based on the effective use of data.
