Mathematical statistics

What is mathematical statistics?

Statistics has a deep foundation in mathematics and probability theory. Statisticians work to develop new analysis techniques and statistical models, and discover properties of those models from a rigorous mathematical perspective. Statistics is also an applied science, it is key to our understanding of the complexity of biological processes, disease, economy, climate and social change.
