Adam J Rothman

Adam J Rothman is a Professor in the Department of Statistics at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities campus, specializing in high-dimensional statistical methodologies. His research focuses on covariance estimation, multivariate analysis, and developing innovative regression frameworks for complex data structures.

His primary research interests include High-Dimensional Statistics, Covariance Estimation, Multivariate Analysis, and Statistical Machine Learning. Rothman develops penalized likelihood methods and shrinkage estimators to address challenges in matrix-valued predictors, categorical responses, and large covariance matrices, with applications spanning scientific domains requiring scalable high-dimensional analysis.

Rothman's recent publications (2019-2024) demonstrate consistent innovation in high-dimensional regression and classification. Key trends include covariance matrix regularization, sufficient dimension reduction techniques, and likelihood-based approaches for categorical multivariate responses. His work emphasizes computational efficiency and theoretical guarantees for datasets where variables exceed sample sizes.

He has secured major National Science Foundation funding as Principal Investigator for two projects: Sufficient Dimension Reduction of High-Dimensional Data (2011-2015) and New methods for multivariate analysis in high dimensions (2015-2021). These grants supported foundational work in dimension reduction and covariance estimation, advancing methodologies for modern statistical challenges.
