Many systems are very hard to understand Science, industry and business possess the technology to  collect, store and distribute huge amounts of data

Fantastically precious data, yet complex and incomplete, are ready to be used for scientific discovery, product development, optimised service.

Statistics provides the methods for producing useful data, understanding data and learning about the world from data. Because knowledge is fragmented and data are incomplete, discoveries and decisions are uncertain. Statistics is the science to quantify risk and make decisions under uncertainty

Statistics is necessary brick in today's … telecommunication transport and logistics insurance business pharmaco industry public health fishery management petroleum production and all the rest!

Statistics

Statistics is a service science. Statistical methods We shall produce the next generation of statistical methodology for innovation

Statistics for tomorrow, statistics for innovation. Statistics for today’s industry, science and service 2015 NOW TIME LINE

Mission: (sfi)2 develops core statistical methodologies, strategically necessary to achieve innovation goals in four key sectors: petroleum marine resources health finance and insurance Vilje til Forskning Tjenestesektor

Common challenges to statistical science Smerud Medical Research Finance Insurance Petroleum Health Marine Common challenges to statistical science

Challenges much data from different sources, but often few critical ones more complex data, because we measure more in depth systems to be understood or predicted are complex the easy part is done, necessary to discover “second order effects” evidence-based decision making is more and more required in society

we shall built strong, interdisciplinary teams, … International network of collaborations Based on our competence, experience, traditions … we shall built strong, interdisciplinary teams, … working on ambitious research projects, … producing top results, … fundamentally needed to solve strategic innovation needs.

First! Best! What projects at (sfi)2 ? Ambitious, very ambitious, innovation aims, where we have an advantage with respect to competitors, because of partner’s top know-how, market position, unique data or ideas; where we have a scientific advantage because of our unique competence in statistics where we can put together internationally leading interdisciplinary research teams.

FindOil: New method to compute the probability that an off-shore perforation will be successful. Update the probabilities of success of all other possible future drilling locations. (StatoilHydro, NR, UiO, NTNU)

StatMarine: Improve the management of marine resources, by better surveillance, based on new statistical models that describe the sea under environmental pressure, climatic change and commercial exploitation. (Havforskningsinstituttet, NR, UiO)

MetaAnalysis: Reduce the time to production of new drugs, combining published clinical studies and open data with own precious data material at individual patient level. (Smerud, NR, UiO, Rikshospitalet)

Industry and Academia Partnership and Pathways Climate Change and Insurance Industry: What effect has climate change on the insurance industry? Methods to help the insurance companies to be less vulnerable to climate change. (Gjensidige, NR, UiO, LSE, Lloyd’s) Industry and Academia Partnership and Pathways
