Welcome to CRiSM website. We hope you'll find the various research activities taking place as stimulating as we do. The philosophy of CRiSM is that maximum impact on statistics as a whole is best achieved by concentrating research and training on the methodological core of the discipline.
Professor Gareth Roberts, Director

CRiSM is based in the Department of Statistics and has been established to consolidate and strengthen the UKs pre-eminent position in the development of statistical methodology, and to support multi-disciplinary collaboration across a range of important statistical applications. The abundance of complex and often high-dimensional data sets in science industry and society creates difficult challenges and exciting opportunities for 21st century statisticians.

Some examples of our research:

Real-time Bayesian risk prediction for up-to-date progress of epidemics of infectious diseases in animal populations	ClonalFrame is a Monte Carlo Markov Chain algorithm to infer bacterial microevolution using multilocus sequence data	Particle filters for diffusion processes provides particle filters in continuous time free from time-discretisation bias

Multi-disciplinary collaboration for significant advances across a range of important applications:

Extensive workshop program with events of all sizes in diverse areas of statistical methodology
Internationally competitive PhD programme to attract the most mathematically able students
Seminars and research paper series.
