Information about Prof. Haupt and the staff members of the Chair of Statistics and Data Analytics can be found on the team web page. Please also visit the team web page for contact details.
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.
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.

Research news
In talking to the Digital Research Magazine of the University of Passau, he gives insights into how he aims to develop innovative tools that can shed light on the determinants and forecast patterns of migration.
We are happy with Julian Dietlmeier about the award for his outstanding thesis of the "Verein der Freunde und Förderer der Wirtschaftswissenschaften in Passau e.V".
His thesis is entitled:
Evaluation of the Quantilogram as a metric for investigating Quantile Regression residuals.
Congratulations from all of us!
We are very happy with Dr. Svenia Elena Behm about the award for her outstanding dissertation thesis entitled:
Four essays on statistical modelling of environmental data
Within the Dies Academicus on Friday, 11/11/2022, Dr. Behm was honoured with the Science Award of the University of Passau, donated by SPARDA-BANK OSTBAYERN EG.
We congratulate her very wholeheartedly!
