Current Research
Interests
My research interests are broad and wide-ranging.
Fundamentally I am a computational statistician with interests in
nonparametric
inference, data mining and data visualization. Within this general
framework, I
have specific interests in time series analysis, function and curve
estimation
including splines, and inference under
order
restrictions. My interest in data mining includes interest in methods
for
streaming data and massive data sets. I have been recently pursuing
work in
social networks and text mining. Specific applications that interest me
are
modeling acute effects of alcohol use from a public policy perspective,
intrusion detection into computer systems, and statistical methods used
in
climate studies.
