statistics, econometrics and other areas of applied statistics. The design of experiments group is internationally known as being a unique centre of excellence in the theory and application of planning experiments and analysing the resulting data. This is closely related to research in clinical trials, which is a major strength of the medical statistics group, along with epidemiological methods. Econometric time series methods form an important part of research in economics. The Centre is also well-known for its work in Bayesian statistics, covering both methodology and decision support software.
