Centre for Applications of Statistics & Mathematics

The Centre was set up in 1987 to promote mathematics and statistics as useful tools both within the University of Otago and more generally in business, industry and government departments.

The expertise offered by the Centre covers many areas of applied statistics and mathematics, but there are particular strengths in biological applications of statistics and geophysical application of mathematics.

The main activity of CASM is assisting university staff and students with research projects. This assistance varies from providing answers to simple questions concerning the use of standard methods that may take a few minutes to full collaboration on a major piece of work that may need weeks or months of full time work by a consultant.

In addition to providing assistance to members of the university, the CASM staff also undertake research and consulting projects commissioned by organizations outside the university, and arrange specialized short courses either at the university or elsewhere.
