About

The Statistical Expertise and Research Group is a research group based in the Department of Methodology and Statistics in the Faculties of Psychology and Neuroscience and Health Medicine and Life Sciences at Maastricht University. Our activity revolves around the development and application of statistical methodology for the analysis of health-related analyses and research fields, e.g. survey design and methodology, high frequency longitudinal data or cost-effectiveness analysis. In addition to research and statistical advice on specific topics, we produce several research articles and relevant pieces of software.

Why us?

We work in close collaboration with academics both within FPN and FHML, as well as across the whole UM and at other institutions, including Univesity College London and the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (UK) among others, internationally. This creates exciting opportunities to develop new methodologies for problems that are relevant to real, practical applications in many different research fields that involve statistics as a key component in their data analysis tasks.

We are directly involved in the organisation and management of different UM BSc and MSc Programmes involving statistical modules and elements, from standard statstical methodology (e.g. hypothesis testing and linear regression) to more advanced techniques (e.g. multilevel and survival analysis). We contribute in core teaching as well as in related research activities, thus providing close links with other FPN and FHML departments and research groups (e.g. the Health Services Research group).

Sincere thanks to our head of department, Prof Gerard van Breukelen, and all our colleagues for supporting this project!
