Mathematical Statistics

We are a dynamic hub for research in mathematical statistics. Much of our current research is motivated by challenges from other academic disciplines and real-world businesses. Our work focuses on developing versatile ideas and methods with broad applications in science, industry, and society. We specialize in developing stochastic models and statistical methods for analyzing spatiotemporal data, functional data, and high-dimensional genomics data.

Research groups

Biostatistics and bioinformatics conducts research into developing of statistical theory and methods, implementing software tools and conducting applied analyses – all related to problems within the field of life science.

Functional Data Analysis and Spatial Statistics conducts research in functional data analysis and spatial statistics, working with modeling, prediction and nonparametric inference. 

Geometric Deep Learning research in geometric deep learning is concerned with investigating the role of symmetries and other geometric structures in the context of deep learning.

 

Mathematical Programming develops theory, methods, and software for efficiently solving optimization and decision problems using modern computing systems.

 

Statistical Learning and Inference for Spatio-Temporal Data Research in this research group includes signal/image analysis and statistical learning and inference for spatio-temporal data.

 

Semiparametric regression and numerical methods are interested in developing scalable methods for fitting generalized additive models with various shape constraints.

Our research links naturally to research activities at campus, including CLiC, CMTF, IceLab and UMIT, and also at our neighbour university, SLU. We have access to advanced infrastructure at HPC2N and resources at BILS and SciLifeLab. We contribute to Umeå University's strong tradition in empirical sciences and big data analysis that are produced within several research units on campus, including UCMR, UPSC, Radiation Sciences, and Cloud and Grid Computing.

We actively welcome collaboration. Feel free to reach out if you're interested in a research visit, working on a thesis project, or attending our seminars.
