Development Characteristics
The Institute is a complete graduate institute, offering M.S. and Ph.D. programs. In
addition to fundamental theoretical statistics courses, students are encouraged to take
courses in industrial statistics, financial statistics, and biostatistics. These three areas of
statistics are considered the forefront of the field, and their theories and applications are
worthy of research and study.
 Industrial Statistics
Statistical researchers have successfully promoted the use of industrial statistics in
Taiwan for many years. Researchers have laid the foundation for the practice of statistical
concepts and methods, such as product design, quality control and manufacturing and
inspection assurance. These practices have helped Taiwanese industries implement
product warranty, monitoring and inspection processes that meet international standards.
 Financial Statistics
In the past twenty years, the financial sector has experienced a significant change in its
investment processes, due to new computational techniques and methods. Today,
international financial institutions increase their competitive strength, using these
computational and technical innovations. These computational methods integrate
techniques from applied mathematics, probability and statistics, computer science, and
economics. The fiscal theories contained in these methods are used to solve common
financial questions like product warranty assessment, investment compound structure,
risk management, and case simulation.
 Biostatistics
Biostatistics plays an important role in public health and medical sciences. With the
growth of computer power, it is necessary and interesting to develop new techniques and
methods for analyzing large and complex biological data set. Our focus is to use existing
methods, or to develop new analysis methods to solve questions in the study of biology,
medicine, pharmacology, epidemiology, and environmental medicine.
Goals
Our course offers featured seminars and discussion of publications. Distinguished
scholars are invited to present their research, and students orally present one topic at the
end of each semester. Additionally, we offer theory and applied statistics courses to
nurture students with a balance of theory and practice. The Institute also provides training
in written and oral skills.
