  • 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.
