Overview

Our Statistics graduate students from The University of New Mexico engage in research with our faculty and faculty from other units or the National Laboratories.

Key Features

Much of the output of these graduate research projects can be seen in the resulting MS Thesis and PhD Dissertations of our students. Recent theses and disertations are available online at the digital repository of UNM.
