The Department of Statistics has a long tradition in research on multivariate and factor analysis. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) is a form of multivariate analysis that was developed by K. G. Jöreskog (professor emeritus in the department) in the early 1970s. The research has since then been carried out under his surveillance.

The remaining time is meant for research and supervision and is expected to contribute to the Department's efforts to develop research and teaching within the field of Structural Equation Modelling.
