Statistics is a useful tool for understanding the patterns in the world around us. But our intuition often lets us down when it comes to interpreting those patterns. In this series we look at some of ...

If there’s one skill almost everyone agrees schools should be teaching, it’s critical thinking, although what, exactly, critical thinking consists of is conveniently left undefined. For the longest ...

Vast amounts of data are generated every day. Statistics transforms data into meaningful information. People who practice the science of learning from data are called statisticians. Statisticians ...

Research of the probability and statistics group includes particle systems, theoretical statistics, non-conventional random walks, random matrix theory, and random polynomials. Research interests also ...

Probability theory provides the mathematical language for quantifying uncertainty and analysing random phenomena. Its foundations rest on measure-theoretic notions of probability spaces and σ-algebras ...

Statistics is the science of learning from data. The theoretical foundation of statistics lies in probability theory, which is applied to decision-making under uncertainty. Data science consists of ...

Statistics influence nearly everything. That is, the information and context derived from statistical analysis help to shape important decisions that have local, national, and global impacts. For ...

The Department of Mathematics and Statistics at Saint Louis University fosters a collaborative learning environment where mathematics, statistics, and data science thrive through mentorship and ...
