Human Rights and Statistics: Getting the Record Straight
Statistics and Human Rights
A human rights statistician finds truth in numbers
Welcome! 
My name is York Hilger. I live in southern Germany where I am an independent statistical consultant for computer data processing and statistical analysis. As a mathematics student at the University of Freiburg more than 25 years ago I became acquainted with the many practical problems of statistics.
I recognized the need for someone who could bridge the gap between the principles of theoretical mathematics and real-life problems, real data, real people...
Over the years I had the opportunity to help researchers of very different areas to apply the principles of mathematical statistics to real life problems.

I have completed contracts for:
- The Max Planck Institute for Foreign and International Criminal Law in Freiburg

- Physicians of the Neurosurgical Clinic

- The Institute for Archeology
- Theologians, Psychologists, Sociologists
- I have assisted numerous candidates for the Ph. D. in a variety of areas at the Computing Center of the University of Freiburg and in other parts of Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Italy and Spain.
My work emphasis in recent years has been in the area of pharmacological industry in Germany and Switzerland.
