Statistics is a data science with theories and methods on extracting information from data that are obscured by random noise. Applications have been found in almost all fields of sciences, including industries, natural sciences, business, finance, medicine, public health, social sciences, etc. Research in statistics can be practical as well as fundamental in the sense that many data analyzing methods are developed in the context of particular scientific fields and are then abstracted and packaged for general use in other areas.
Aiming at promoting fundamental/practical research in statistics and breeding professionals with statistical expertise, the Institute of Statistics at the National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University was formally established in 1992. There are 9 full-time and 3 joint-appointed faculty, and 57 students at present. Our faculty conducts research across the spectrum of statistical science from general statistical methodology to biomedical, industrial, and financial statistics.
The Institute offers both Master of Science (M.S.) and Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) programs. The establishment of M.S. and Ph.D. programs in our institute has been attracting perspective graduate students and generating intellectual impacts in the community through close interactions. In response to the recent rise of “big data”, we also offer the credit program of big data analysis to prepare students to work effectively with real-world big data and to extract insights from the data using the latest tools and analytical methods. With excellent graduate programs and outstanding faculty research, our institute has become one of the most prestigious statistical departments in Taiwan with QS 2013 World University ranking No. 51 worldwide (No. 1 in Taiwan) in subject of Statistics & Operational Research.
