Welcome to the Institute of Applied Statistics!

Our goal is to contribute to the JKU's success by means of conducting outstanding research and education in the area of statistics. As part of the oldest statistics degree program in German-speaking Europe, we offer sound education, thereby giving our graduates ideal professional opportunities in the job market. From a research perspective, we contribute to developing statistics itself as well as developing appropriate statistical methods to support interdisciplinary research questions. In this regard, we collaborate with academics and scientists from different research areas and members of the business community.

Research

  • Our research projects focus on developing methods to apply to new questions stemming from applications, statistical modelling as well as design of experiments, biostatistics and computational statistics, among others. 
  • We document our research output by means publications in leading journals.
  • In addition to corresponding papers, we contribute to the JKU's scientific development through interdisciplinary partnerships with internal and external associates.
    • In the area of Data Science the department successfully collaborates with companies such as Hofer, Greiner, voestalpine, Pöttinger, and AMAG Austria Metall AG. 
    • In the area of Official Statistics, within the EMOS-project of the EU we collaborate with Statistics Austria, the Austrian NSI, in the form of providing internships. 
    • In other areas such as biostatistics there are collaborations with the JKU's Faculty of Medicine (Kepler Klinikum) as well as with the University of Veterinary Medicine, Vienna, as part of the FWF doctoral program in population genetics.
