Research Collaboration
ISM performs many activities for collaborating with researchers in the various fields of statistical science,from the individual level to the national level. The ISM cooperative research program regularly performs research activities to provide the research resources of ISM to researchers at universities or research institutes in order to advance their academic research. Available research resources include books, journals, supercomputers,some commercial statistical software packages, as well as statistical packages developed by ISM, and also the researchers in ISM themselves, who have abundant professional knowledge and experience in statistical science and data analysis. The ISM cooperative research program provides not only research support funds but also opportunities for the various researchers in many fields who require statistical knowledge to make use of the resources available at ISM. ISM’s aim is to be a place for interaction and fusion among researchers inside and outside of ISM, and to contribute to multidisciplinary development of both the theory and the application of statistical science.
