RAND Statistics Publications
Members of the Group work on a wide array of theoretical and applied problems, and as such, disseminate work in diverse outlets. Our statistical contributions to RAND projects often lead to publications in high-profile subject matter journals, and often dovetail with methodological work that reaches the top journals in the statistics community. We regularly author or co-author RAND reports, and members also publish books outside of RAND.
Selected publications can be found on members' biographies pages, and many publications may also be found in the RAND publications database.
