Welcome to the Statistical Inference, Decision & Operations Research (SiDOR) group web site.

Many different areas of human knowledge as Biology, Economy, Businnes, Medicine, Engineering, Environmental Science, or Finance are aware about the extremely important role played by mathematics, informatics, and statistics in modern life. Usual real life problems involve quantitative modelling, contrained optimization, statistical data analysis, and decision making under uncertainty.

SiDOR was created back in 1998 as an University research unit concerned with the development of useful mathematical and statistical knowledge, oriented to solve real life issues. It is the only unit of this nature in the Southern area of Galicia. Excellence in research, and flexible interaction with all the areas of experimental science, the administration, and the industry, are the main axis of its activity.

Currently, SiDOR is recognized as a Leading Research Unit by the Vice Rectory of Research of the University of Vigo and also by the Government of Galicia, and it is one of the 12 teams developing the Galician Net “Mathematica Consulting & Computing”. Many of its members teach at the Interuniversity Master Program on Statistics, which enjoys the Disctinction of Quality of the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation.
