Research
I am interested in graphical Markov models as well as in the application of algebraic techniques in statistics (algebraic statistics). Recent projects are concerned with:
- statistical inference in complex graphical models based on chain graphs
and path diagrams; - development of graphical models for categorical data;
- study of the (algebraic) geometry of the parameter spaces of graphical
models with hidden variables; - connections between geometry of parameter spaces and properties of
statistical procedures such as the likelihood ratio test.
