Statistics

The Statistics research group carries out research in a wide variety of research areas. Our interests range from statistical methodology and computation, to substantive applications in many different fields.

Our areas of interest include:

  • Bayesian statistics, with specific expertise relevant to uncertainty in computer models
  • Nonparametric statistics, including smoothing and predictive inference;
  • Statistical modelling of structure, geometry, and shape;
  • Foundations of statistics and decision theory, generalised uncertainty quantification and imprecise probability;
  • Applied statistics for large-scale applications such as cosmology, banking, digital commerce, energy and engineering, risk assessment, ecotoxicology, food safety, and systems biology.
