Overview
About the program
The interdisciplinarity of the research agenda of the Scaling Problems in Statistics program at the University of Göttingen was also well reflected in the qualification program.
The first core element, introductions to mixed models and spatial statistics, provided the PhD students with advanced knowledge in statistical methods dealing with scaling problems. Building on this common ground, further subjects were introduced in the form of specialization courses, research colloquia, and research seminars.
Programme Structure
Some research topics include:
- How does the association of animal and plant abundance depend on ecological conditions?
- What impact has the price of one product on that of another?
