Academy for PhD Training in Statistics (APTS)

拟议的统计学博士培训学院是英国九所著名大学统计研究小组之间的合作，将为英国各地的统计学博士生（包括统计方法学，应用统计学和应用概率的学生）提供第一年培训的基本核心。这种学术资源的汇集将使我们能够为来自英国各地的新博士生提供最基本的数学，计算和统计技术的系统，高质量的基础，以及统计研究重要领域的权威概述。因此，拟议的学院直接解决了2003年EPSRC/CMS国际数学评论的一些关键问题，关于英国博士培训的广度和质量，特别是训练有素的研究统计学家的长期短缺。

The proposed Academy for PhD training in statistics is a collaboration between nine prominent UK University statistics research groups, which will deliver a basic core of first-year training to PhD students in statistics (including students of statistical methodology, applied statistics and applied probability) across the UK. This pooling of academic resources will allow us to offer new PhD students from across the UK a systematic, high quality grounding in the most essential mathematical, computational and statistical techniques, as well as authoritative overviews of important areas of statistical research. The proposed Academy thus addresses directly some key concerns of the 2003 EPSRC/CMS International Review of Mathematics, about the breadth and quality of UK PhD training and specifically the chronic shortage of well-trained research statisticians.
