Cornell Department of Statistics

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.

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.
