The profile areas are:

Bayesian Inference
Bayesian inference has, in recent years, gained strong ground within both practical and theoretical statistics. The fundamental idea is that all inference should consider previous knowledge in the process of decision making. Many dissertations have been produced in this area within the department.
Design of experiments
Experiments have been conducted in many areas like Medicin and Manufacturing Industry, and have recently been extended to the Behavioural Sciences and Economics.
