As you may have been aware, the department of statistics has moved to a new building in August, 2004. Facilitated by the new space, we would like to build a stronger statistical community at Columbia, not limited to the statistics and biostatistics departments.
We would like to
Build
a network of quantitative researchers;
Establish
a database of statistical resources (expertise, consulting services, etc);
Form
a group of teachers interested in improving statistical education;
We hope to
Have
an annual gathering of our STAT community;
Organize
seminars, workshops, lectures on statistical teaching, application and training;
Evoke
active communications and collaborations among researchers with projects of
quantitative nature;
Provide
a better statistical teaching and learning environment.
Welcome to this exciting e-community! If you are interested, please get started by filling out the survey. If you have any suggestions or comments, please write to us.
