Welcome
Welcome to the Department of Statistics at Purdue University,
West Lafayette, Indiana. It is recognized as one of the top
statistics programs in the country.Our mission is to advance the frontiers of statistical science research in both theory and applications; to provide learning environments that produce well educated statisticians, probabilists and quantitatively literate people; to join with others in bringing the strengths of the statistical sciences to address societal needs.
The Department offers the degrees of Bachelor of Science, Graduate Certificate, Master of Science and Ph.D. in Statistics. Currently we have 184 undergraduate majors in Statistics and Actuarial Science, 85 graduate students working towards their degrees and another 28 working towards a Graduate Certificate.
The main research interests of the faculty members are in these areas:
- Applied Probability
- Asymptotics
- Bayesian
- Bioinformatics and Biologically Related Disciplines (genomics, nutrition, proteomics, statistical genetics)
