Teaching

The course offerings of the Chair of Statistics and Data Analytics include methods in statistics at the undergraduate, master's, and graduate levels. Emphasis is placed on linking knowledge of statistical methods with computational skills for applying and interpreting this knowledge.

Forschung

Research

Our research focuses on the development and application of flexible regression methods. Our work covers basic research as well as applied statistics. We are continuously working on interdisciplinary practical projects together with our scientific, business, and societal partners.

News

The Chair of Statistics and Data Analytics is offering bachelor or master theses on statistical market research/decision support topics related to revenue forecasting using data from the EFRE-funded project DIGIONAL. For details on the topic and application modalities, please contact Prof. Haupt.

Several (related) topics are currently available for Master's or Bachelor's theses (and "Zulassungsarbeiten"):

  • Time series forecasts (and their averages) over multiple horizons and information sets (prerequisite is a bachelor level knowledge of time series analysis/stochastic processes)
  • Forecast evaluation (prerequisite is a bachelor level knowledge of time series analysis/stochastic processes)
  • Deal curve models in marketing research (prerequisite is a basic knowledge in regression analysis and marketing research)
  • Air quality monitoring and prediction  (prerequisite is a bachelor level knowledge of time series analysis/stochastic processes)
  • Quantile regression and utility (prerequisite is a basic knowledge in regression analysis and expected utility)
  • Regression smoothing  (prerequisite is a basic knowledge in regression analysis)
  • Ridge functions in statistics  (prerequisite is a basic knowledge of analysis and mathematical statistics)
  • Central limit theory for M-estimators (prerequisite is a basic knowledge of probability theory and mathematical statistics)

Work can be applied, computational, theoretical. Connected topics are available. For further information, please contact Prof. Haupt.
