The research programme Statistical Science is concerned with the analysis and interpretation of masses of data, the quantification of uncertainty using probability models, and the development and benchmarking of algorithms and methods with these aims.

Netherlands Statistics (CBS), Leiden University and the University of Amsterdam have started a collaboration in the form of a research project titled 'Enriching official economic statistics using data-driven modelling techniques'.

The main methodological aspects of the use of stepwise LCA estimators under different circumstances.

Next April, Leiden will host the seventh annual international Survival Analysis for Junior Researchers conference (SAfJR2018). This three-day event is aimed at career-young statisticians with an interest in the application and development of time-to-event analysis and related topics. The conference…

The aim of this project is to determine in which cases uncertainty statements resulting from a Bayesian statistical analysis can be trusted.

Methodology and Statistics focuses on the development, evaluation and application of statistical models for the analysis of psychological research data.

Are predictive archaeological maps a reliable tool to play an important role in the spatial planning? One of the goals of this project was to develop best practices for the production and application of the models.

The aim of this project is to explore the use of statistical interaction models to quantify cross-omics and omics-drug interactions in large-scale clinical and experimental datasets

Developing and investigating statistical methods for complex data and models

The Data Science for Statistical Science master’s specialisation at Leiden University gives you a better understanding of statistical models, especially in relation to Data Science, including their application and interpretation in a broad range of empirical research.

The master’s programme Statistical Science for the Life and Behavioural Sciences provides students with a thorough introduction to the general philosophy and methodology of statistical modelling and data analysis. The programme has two specialisations: Data Science and Statistical Science.
