Examples of Bachelor and Master Theses

As an example, we show a selection of theses that have already been completed at the chair. For all work, we require relevant statistical knowledge that has been acquired in the context of our courses and seminars, as well as very good programming and mathematical knowledge. Finding a suitable topic is always an individual process. If you are interested, please contact the secretariat with your current performance overview and a short résumé.
