Applications

Definition of capability

The Bayesian Research and Applications Group works on a variety of applied statistical projects related to Big and/or Complex Data. Links with other disciplines within QUT, other universities, industry and government partners provide a rich body of research topics. BRAG’s team of researchers come from a diverse range of backgrounds which has resulted in the development of a number of projects from different fields, all requiring the capabilities of big data.
