The Biostatistical Centre combines theoretical biostatistical research with pratical data analysis. The major research areas of the group are: repeated measurements, clinical trials, surrogate endpoints, missing data, mixed models, Bayesian statistics. The Centre has organized workshops, international and national courses in collaboration with institutes from abroad such as University college of London, Free University of Berlin, Lancaster ...
he department of Analytical Chemistry, Applied Chemometrics and Molecular Modelling (FABI) is part of the Pharmaceutical Institute of the Faculty of Medicine and Pharmacy of the Vrije Universiteit Brussel. It is located in building G, ground floor of the Brussels Health Campus (campus Jette (see location)) of the university.
The main research topics are situated in separation science, chemometrics and molecular modelling. ...
Research activities in the group of "Theoretical Chemistry and Molecular Modelling" aim at linking domains of relevance in physical chemistry, chemical physics, and material research, such as:
- polymer physics and surfaces;
- electron structure theory of neutral and ionized molecules (anions, cations), clusters or radicals;
- advanced ionization spectroscopy (photoelectron spectroscopies [XPS, UPS, Synchrotron], Electron ...
Research in the areas of probability, statistics, stochastic processes, information theory, coding theory, numerical mathematics. Collaboration with other sections of the university, in particular engineering, medicine, social science, psychology, actuarial studies. Some current research topics: - Simulation, Monte Carlo methods, queueing theory, networks. - Nonparametric statistics, extreme value theory, insurance math. - Statistical design ...
The Center for Statistics has an international reputation in statistical research (both theoretical and applied). In the domain of mathematical statistics, research is carried out in a.o. the following fields: bootstrap methods, smoothing techniques, censored data, asymptotic theory. Research in applied statistics focuses on biostatistics (longitudinal data analysis, clustered data, missing data, multivariate methods, clinical trials, ...
In operations research, a challenging research area is combinatorial optimization. Next to exact methods such as branch-and-bound, branch-and-price, also approximation algorithms are studied. Assignment and scheduling problems, winner determination problems and research on client-oriented vehicle routing problems are some of the subjects under study. Further emphasis is placed on machine scheduling, resource-constrained project planning and ...
