Institute for Research in Statistics and its Applications

Statistics is the science of learning from data. Statisticians collect, organize, analyze, interpret, and present data. We are constantly seeking better ways to do that in more and more challenging situations, using mathematics, computing, and insight. People use statistics in business, industry, medicine, government, and scientific research.

 

In light of public health concerns involving the 2019 Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) IRSA events will take place virtually until further notice. Our priority is to protect the health and safety of our community. We encourage you to explore the University's Safe Campus website for more up-to-date information. If you have a question about an event, please contact us at IRSAevents@umn.edu.
