Statistical inference and probabilistic modeling are central to all of the pure and applied sciences today. Statistical thinking and quantitative reasoning has become pervasive in culture, economy, law, government, and science, dramatically changing the way people view the world. Cornell's academic and research programs take advantage of Cornell University's extensive resources, drawing from many colleges and research groups.

NEWS AND EVENTS

Information about the current Statistics Seminars can be found here.

The International Year of Statistics (Statistics2013) is a worldwide celebration and recognition of the contributions of statistical science. Through the combined energies of organizations worldwide, Statistics2013 will promote the importance of Statistics to the broader scientific community, business and government data users, the media, policy makers, employers, students, and the general public. The goals of Statistics2013 include:

  • increasing public awareness of the power and impact of Statistics on all aspects of society;
  • nurturing Statistics as a profession, especially among young people; and
  • promoting creativity and development in the sciences of Probability and Statistics.

For over 10 years our Master of Professional Studies (MPS) has offered world-class training in applied statistics, and preparation for the 21st-century workplace. The MPS provides a solid foundation in theoretical statistics, a broad education in many applied statistics topics, certification in SAS, and a year-long real-world data analysis project. Our graduates are employed all over the world, in industries ranging from finance to survey analysis to biomedical research. Currently, Cornell is the only Ivy League University that provides such a program. This program is recognized as a Professional Science Master's program.

STATISTICAL SERVICES

The goal of Cornell's Statistical Services is to enhance the quality of research conducted by Cornell Faculty, Staff and Students. Through statistical consulting, we contribute a wide range of expertise in the areas of study design, statistical analysis and computation, and the interpretation of results. There are also resources available to help researchers improve their own statistical analysis skills, including hands-on workshops conducted by CISER and CSCU.
