Our research is concentrated on the development and application of statistical methods, where we investigate structural properties of financial time series and generalized linear models, and apply statistical methods to environmetrics, medicine, biometrics and different industrial sectors. Important contacts to the scientific community are maintained in different ways. We organize conferences, participate in meetings and work with guest researchers. Our applied statistical projects and consulting activities provide a permanent technology transfer.
