About Our Department
The Department of Statistics and Applied Probability was created in
1989, and has developed a broad range of interests. Courses are offered
leading to Bachelor, Master and PhD degrees. A Bachelor of Science
Degree in Financial Mathematics and Statistics was introduced in Fall
2003. This is a joint major between the Departments of Statistics and
Applied Probability and Mathematics with the cooperation of the
Department of Economics. Our PhD degree offers an emphasis in Financial
Mathematics and Statistics and an interdisciplinary emphasis in
Quantitative Methods in the Social Sciences. At present there are about
fifty undergraduate statistics majors (many emphasizing actuarial
science), sixty financial mathematics and statistics majors and
premajors, and about fifty graduate students.
Faculty interests currently include Bayesian computation, bootstrap
methods, comparison of experiments, directional data analysis,
functional data analysis, Bayesian networks, massive data sets and
retrieval algorithms, multi-dimensional scaling, nonparametric
modelling, smoothing spline methods, heavy-tailed stochastic models,
stochastic calculus, nonlinear stochastic partial differential
equations, superprocesses, large deviations, applications in biology,
stochastic models in finance, and time series.
There are active interactions with many departments, both personal and
through the Statistical Consulting Laboratory. The Department's
computing facilities are excellent both for faculty and graduate
students.
A new Center for Research in Financial Mathematics and Statistics
(CRFMS) was established in Spring 2006 to provide national and
international leadership in quantitative finance from different
perspectives. The Center brings together faculty, students, and visitors
affiliated with the departments of Statistics and Applied Probability,
Economics (Econometrics and Finance), Mathematics (Applied Mathematics),
Computer Science and others on the UCSB campus. It facilitates
interdepartmental cooperation in mathematical modeling, statistical data
analysis and efficient computational methods specific to financial data.

UC Santa Barbara is located on the shores of the Pacific, neighboring
the beautiful city of Santa Barbara. The area has a population of less
than 200,000, yet has excellent amenities. The climate is ideal.
