Advanced Quantitative Methods (Research)

The Advanced Quantitative Methods (AQM) pathway is designed to foster research that pushes the boundaries of quantitative methodologies in the social sciences. AQM is fundamentally about methodological innovation and application. It aims to support research that either advances existing quantitative methods or applies cutting-edge techniques to social science topics.

The pathway aims to promote research that employs sophisticated statistical, mathematical, econometric, and computational modelling techniques. This includes, but is not limited to, process modelling, machine learning, and artificial intelligence. Projects may involve applying statistical methods used in other disciplines to social science problems, or developing novel statistical methods for analysing social-science data.
