Applied mathematics and statistics
The application of statistics and mathematics is critical for sound evidence-based scientific investigations. By continually refining our mathematical analysis techniques to address the practical needs of CSL's work, we assure the quality of our science and the credibility of customers' projects, published outputs and policy advice.
In science, mathematical data are the medium that best lends itself to analysis and dissemination. Whatever the particular field of interest, the object of the scientific investigation is at some stage represented by numbers. The rigorous analysis of these numbers produces findings that can be translated back from data into meaningful 'real world' applications. This kind of analysis is fundamental to CSL's programme of sound evidence-based science. Consequently, the statistics and applied mathematics impacts on the quality of CSL's work across the entire scientific spectrum.
By the skilful analysis of mathematical data, CSL's statisticians and applied mathematicians derive effective, reliable information for the benefit of customers, the scientific community and the public.
