Tools Statistics

Regardless of whether you need to get a first glimpse into the matter or deepen your basic knowledge of statistics for your doctoral project, we have compiled a number of resources for you to browse. 

You will find information on training opportunities at Heidelberg University as well as a selection of courses related to statistics and other sources of information. Statistics can be considered an independent discipline of mathematics, dealing with data collection and analysis as well as their interpretation and presentation. On the other hand, statistics can also be seen as a branch of mathematics, especially stochastics. Statistics represents the theoretical basis of all empirical research.
