"The Department of Mathematical Science offers programs in
statistics/probability/stochastic processes and in operations
research/optimization/ decision science leading to the M.A., M.S.E., and
Ph.D. degrees. These programs are supported by a curriculum in
computational and applied mathematics, including numerical analysis, linear
algebra, and graph theory. A graduate program may emphasize one of the
primary areas or may be more diversified . . . Research specializations for
the doctoral dissertation may be selected from an area represented in the
department or may be interdisciplinary and involve allied faculty in other
departments."

application of well-known statistical techniques and methods. Current
activities include investigations in: likelihood inference; prediction
approach to sampling theory; longitudinal data analysis; health planning
decisions in terms of impacts on hospital use; reliability of causes of
death statistics; factors affecting prognosis after myocardial infarction;
survival analysis; factor analysis; proportional hazards models; incomplete
data."

"The Consulting Center for Statistics within the department
provides graduate students with opportunities for practical statistical
experience. Computing facilities range from the departmental VAXcluster and
computing laboratory, to the campus mainframe facilities, and to a
satellite connection to the supercomputer facilities at San Diego. The
department also has a four processor Ardent Titan super mini-computer. This
system has three dimensional graphics capability and can be used to produce
real-time interactive simulations."

"The Statistics Program offers the Master of Arts and Doctor
of Philosophy degrees for graduate study and research in statistics and
probability. Areas of faculty research activity include statistical
decision and estimation theory, biostatistics, stochastic modeling, robust
and nonparametric inference, analysis of variance, theory and inference for
stochastic processes, stochastic analysis and time series. Students may
concentrate in applied or theoretical statistics by selecting an
appropriate sequence of courses and a research area to form an individual
plan of study. The Program has been designed with sufficient flexibility to
accommodate the student's background and interests. The Program also offers
students from other disciplines an opportunity to select a variety of
statistics courses to supplement their own study."
