Statistics is the science of data. Estimation facilitates learning from data. Quantifying, controlling, and describing uncertainty provides a basis for the inference, modeling, and decision making that is central to all theoretical and applied science.

Quantitative analysis and statistical reasoning have become ubiquitous, and the prevalence of “big data” is rapidly changing the way we study and view our world. CAM’s statistics research programs span from mathematical statistics, computational statistics, and machine learning to the development of statistical methods for astrophysics, ecology, economics, emergency medical services, financial modeling, genomics, high-dimensional and functional data, neurobiology, risk management and spatiotemporal data.
