Research group on Compositional and Spatial Data Analysis
Welcome to the COSDA-UPC Research Group!
Research group of the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC), working jointly with the researchers of COSDA at the Universitat de Girona (UdG).
The COSDA-UPC Research Group is an evolution of the Group NRG (Natural Risks and Geostatistics), which was recognized as an UPC-Research Group for some years.
Description
COSDA-UPC dedicates itself to the development and application of statistical techniques for the analysis of compositional and spatial data. The particular nature of compositional data requires specific statistical techniques.
COSDA-UPC is currently working in the following research lines:
- Biomarkers and genetic markers.
- Natural hazards, pollution and climatic change.
- Comparative characterization of alimentation systems from a global point of view.
COSDA-UPC contributes to knowledge transfer by applying compositional methods in other fields of science. Our research activities imply the education of new investigators, knowledge transfer and divulgation: the biannual international CoDa-workshop, CoDa-courses, and software.
