The German Statistics Working Group (DAGStat) is an association of scientific specialist societies and professional associations whose main task is the further development of statistical theory and methodology. The aim of the working group is to offer a forum for joint activities and public relations work and thus to achieve a greater awareness of statistics in science and the public.
The German Statistics Working Group (DAGStat) sees statistics as a key science for society and science. Whenever data is collected or experiments planned and performed, statisticians matter. The wide range of applications and the versatility of the statistical sciences require cooperation and productive scientific exchange.
The DAGStat was founded in 2005. Its stated aim is to bring together scientists working on statistical methods, to give them an open and productive forum and to increase the public's awareness of statistics.
