KERN
Statistical Services, Inc. provides comprehensive statistical support
for risk-based decision making.
-
Risk assessment
increasingly requires quantification of uncertainty.
-
Environmental and ecological data are
characterized by biased sampling, small sample size, lack of normality,
missing and censored observations, nonlinearity and a host of features
not often addressed in standard introductory or even graduate level
statistics courses.
-
Quantification
of risks often requires expertise in a broad range of methods including
non-parametric statistics, ratios of random variables, Monte Carlo
simulation, trend analysis, maximum likelihood, bootstrapping and
Geostatistics.
-
Risk assessors
and managers may feel overwhelmed by the necessary detail and complexity
of these calculations.
-
Outsourcing the
statistical aspects of risk assessment can free discipline experts to
focus on the decision making process.
