CRSG is supported by Australian Research Council Grants, and itself supports PhD students. In 1991 Professor V. Solo and Associate Professor M. Hudson formed a computational statistics research. Various steps have been taken towards this goal. In 1998 a one day workshop in Nuclear Medicine was run at Macquarie. The most recent topic was Analysis of Discrete Correlated Data, about 130 attended.
Concern is with both algorithmic and theoretical statistical issues.
PET is a research initiative. Algorithms developed for scientific problems require highly computer intensive methods and statistical acceleration techniques developed by our group. The group includes two visitors from leading international research centres. It hosted a third Visiting Associate, Dr Baccarne, University Brest in 1999, and is hosting an Exchange Scholar in 2000. Application has involved models of kinetics of processes relevant to environmental science and weather modelling.
