Imagine yourself seated in a small helicopter. Looking out and  below, a city. Your eyes meets old houses, streets, people...  You know that the city is Utrecht. In one way or another, your senses have been able to classify a world of information, and reach a conclusion. If you are not sure, you might ask yourself if the Dom is still there. No other city will have anything alike. In the next round of the helicopter, you spot it a few times. Yes, you are in Utrecht. Now you can tell the pilot how to get home.
 

The statistics developed for you at Scilla and Charibdis Research are very much the same as this imaginary trip. We start from your own perception and develop tests and methods that might confirm (or disprove) your initial ideas. Here an overview of our main services .

We know techniques to order it and classify it. Our experience in model building, time series and multivariate analysis enables us to find patterns and describe them. Want to read more?
