There are opportunities for postgraduate research in Statistics at both PhD and MPhil levels. Training is provided through individual supervision of research, by advanced seminar courses and conferences, and by generic courses. The PhD degree usually involves a qualifying dissertation submitted during the second year of study, which is helpful training for writing the PhD thesis.
The research interests and strengths of the internationally well known members of the group are wide ranging. In particular, at present the research focus is in areas such as multivariate nonparametric statistics, nonparametric smoothing including both kernel- and wavelet-based methods, time series analysis, multivariate modelling, statistical computing, linear and non-linear regression, and neuroscience.
The Group also has close links with the Medical School and actively contributes research work to the projects in Medical Statistics .
