The Division of Biostatistics is one of five divisions of the School of Public Health at the University of California, Berkeley. Its mission is the promotion of teaching and research of biostatistical methods by faculty and graduate students. Graduate students are admitted to M.A. and Ph.D. programs through the Group in Biostatistics which is a joint program of the School of Public Health and the Department of Statistics.
The Biostatistics Working Paper series includes articles on statistical methods and applications developed by faculty and visitors of the Division of Biostatistics. In general, articles dated 2001 and later are downloadable from this site. For earlier articles that have appeared in print, we have included an abstract with a citation. Articles that are not downloadable or are unavailable in print may be requested from
