Probability and Statistics: Mathematics Institute
built 629 days ago
UD's probability group includes Wenbo Li, a well-known expert in Gaussian process theory, and Mason. The statistics faculty consists of, among others, Paul Eggermont and LaRiccia, who are renowned for their work in parametrics, as well as Lydia Rejto and Bob Stark. Recognized for her work on random censoring and survival analysis, Rejto spent the 1998-99 academic year visiting the Mathematics Institute of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences.

One faculty member was named the second most prolific probability researcher in the United States, and fourth in the world, when compared with 3,453 other authors. Though the ranking didn't identify the researcher, UD sources say it was David Mason, who joined the UD faculty in 1980, and subsequently was elected a Fellow of the Institute of Mathematical Statistics. Mason ... was awarded both Junior and Senior Alexander von Humboldt Research Fellowships, as well as a Fulbright Grant.

Starting with this definition, it would (probably :-) be right to conclude that the Probability Theory, being a branch of Mathematics, is an exact, deductive science that studies uncertain quantities related to random events. This might seem to be a strange marriage of mathematical certainty and uncertainty of randomness. On a second thought, though, most people will agree that a newly conceived baby has a 50-50 chance (exact but, likely, inaccurate estimate) to be, for example, a girl or a boy, for that matter.
