Live conferences are very rare those days, but luckily, the 8^th Austrian Stochastics Days took place at the University of Graz on September 10 and 11, 2020.

Four members of the Department of Statistics attended the conference and seized the opportunity to listen to interesting talks by colleagues working in stochastics mainly in Austria and to present their own research.

Michaela Szölgyenyi had the honour to give the plenary talk with the title: Stochastic differential equations with irregular coefficients: mind the gap!

Maximilian Arbeiter gave a talk with the title: Pollutant dispersion simulation using a stochastic particle model

Research report of the department of statistics 2007-2017.

In part I, the report contains welcome addresses to the ten-year anniversary, a brief history, the staff of the department, contributions on the relevance of statistics (statistical literacy, what is statistics about, applied statistics on the path to its data-science future, my journey to the centre of statistics, views and aphorisms about statistics). It also contains a description of our research groups, the qualifications from staff and alumni, a description of our essential projects, and our international relations.

Programmieren und Gestalten von Applets in Excel. Diese Applets sollen das Verständnis von statistischen Begriffen erleichtern. Dabei werden auch Daten nach entsprechenden Wahrscheinlichkeitsannahmen zu simulieren, auszuwerten und graphisch darzustellen sein. Technisch-naturwissenschaftliche Inhalte im Praktikum: Programmieren in Excel. Statistik und Wahrscheinlichkeitsrechnung – elementare Begriffe und Methoden. Simulation. Key issues for courses in introductory statistics and probability at university level for non-mathematical studies
