Our Brochure Contents

This booklet is for those who are curious about graduate study toward a Ph.D. in statistics and probability. Although there is some practical information available at the end, this pamphlet is mainly intended for browsing. Through short sketches by both faculty and students we aim to give a sense of what our subject is about, what statisticians (at least at Stanford!) do, and sometimes even confessions of why they like doing it!

1. Statistics Overview

• Statistics, Science, Mathematics and Computing
• Statistics in Stanford University

2. Faculty Reflections and Research

3. Student Research

4. Additional Faculty Research Interests

5. Information on our program

• The Statistics Ph.D. Program
• Admissions

6. Recent Alumni and Dissertation Titles

This booklet contains some live illustrations (see Efron's example). More such examples continue to be added and you need a JAVA capable browser to realize the full potential of these examples. However, the textual material is available to all browsers, including those that do not have JAVA capability.
