The Center for Applied Statistics is a sustained research and teaching unit, formerly the successful Applied Statistics Program. Our main purposes are: to provide methodological instruction in the social sciences at all levels and complexities, to support faculty and graduate student research through computing infrastructure, and to maintain a national and international profile for statistical research at Washington University. We serve as a connection for statisticians on campus and as a hub for academic statistical interactions in the Missouri geographic area.
