[School of Natural Sciences PhD Scholarships] Reliable Inference from High-Dimensional Data

Updated: 28 September 2026 
Modern scientific studies often measure thousands of variables from relatively few individuals. Statistical methods can identify patterns in such data, but producing trustworthy confidence intervals and hypothesis tests is much harder, particularly when variability and dependence are not correctly modeled.
