What is the common link among weather forecast, a genetic study, a market survey, an opinion survey, an epidemiological study, the reliability measure of a turbosteamer? It may seem not much. Instead they are connected by common methodologies and a common science:

STATISTICS

Nowadays, statisticians are involved in many different situations requiring decision making under uncertainty conditions and in all areas of productions of goods and services. Indeed the scientific handling of information and the rigorous inference from the data are indispensable to succeed in the modern economic market and are a guarantee of quality.

Statisticians are working in research institutes for public health, in pharmaceutical industries, in institutes for social and economic research, in the industrial sector for the improvement of the production line, marketing research and quality control, in institutions for the environmental control, in the financial sector for example in banks and insurance companies. And these are only a few examples.

To be able to handle complex real situations, statistical methodologies require mathematical know-how and now more than in the past informatics tools to handle large datasets.

The aim of SMID is to form those professional figures with competence in Statistics, mathematically and computer skilled.

The basic mathematical and computer competences and specific probabilistic and statistics knowledge are supported and developed also through the presentation of many applications to problems in biology, physics, economics, medicines and environment, also presented by experts of these fields.

The methodologies and competences learned during the three years of study at SMID and the experience during the stage, give the students those competences and those cultural and professional experiences required by the modern job market.
