The objectives of the research are to provide statistical methods for studying complex processes and data sets, and for predicting outcomes within complex processes. Many applications of the research are in the area known as life history analysis, which deals with events and other phenomena that occur in populations or systems. For example, in medicine and public health we consider the occurrence and treatment of diseases, and their associated causes and consequences. In socioeconomic studies, events related to education, employment, conjugal status and parenthood are studied. In technological systems used in manufacturing or telecommunications, it is important to track events triggering system failures and to determine their causes.

这项研究的目的是为研究复杂过程和数据集以及预测复杂过程中的结果提供统计方法。这项研究的许多应用是在被称为生活史分析的领域，该领域处理发生在种群或系统中的事件和其他现象。例如，在医学和公共卫生中，我们考虑疾病的发生和治疗，以及与之相关的原因和后果。在社会经济学研究中，研究了与教育、就业、婚姻状况和为人父母有关的事件。在用于制造或电信的技术系统中，跟踪触发系统故障的事件并确定其原因非常重要。
