Overview
About the programme
Statistics is a foundational information science that offers a systematic and coherent mathematical framework for all questions arising in data analysis.
These range from designing experiments and optimally extracting information from observations to predicting new outcomes, uncovering functional relationships and taking decisions.
Statistical methods provide theoretical guarantees of optimality and use probability to represent uncertainty in models and data. This PhD in Statistics is offered by The University of Manchester.
