Statistics Department

Discipline of Statistics

Statistics is the science of collecting and analyzing data, and drawing inferences from data. It has been used in virtually every field of human endeavor, including engineering and medicine, as well as the biological, physical, social and decision sciences. Modern Statistics has close links with computer science and mathematics.

The four key words to the Statistics programs at Case Western Reserve University are: theory, applications, computing, and substantive fields. Each of the degree programs can be characterized as it addresses these four aspects.

A hallmark of the Case Western Reserve Statistics program is the stress placed on strong cores to underpin the fundamental concepts of statistics, with courses in a variety of methodologies, computing, and modern data analysis with serious connection to a substantive area for application of statistics and practice in scientific collaboration, and with forums for the development of articulate oral (and written) presentation.
