Statistics

John Buonaccorsi, Erin Conlon, Joseph Horowitz, H. K. Hsieh, Daeyoung Kim, Michael Lavine, Anna Liu, John Staudenmayer

Faculty in statistics have a range of interests from theoretical, to methodological, to applied. We regularly consult and collaborate with our colleagues throughout the university and participate in multidisciplinary research. We offer a statistics concentration for undergraduate math majors, a Masters degree, and a statistics specialization for PhD students. The Monday afternoon statistics seminar features both theoretical and applied talks and internal and external speakers.
