معرفی
Francis Hui is an Associate Professor in Statistics at the Research School of Finance, Actuarial Studies and Statistics (RSFAS), The Australian National University (ANU), specializing in ecological statistics, longitudinal data analysis, and statistical computing. His work bridges methodological advancements with practical applications in environmental science, actuarial studies, and multivariate data analysis.
Education:
- PhD in Statistics from the University of New South Wales (2015)
- BSc/BA (First Class Honours, University Medal) from the University of New South Wales (2012)
Research Interests:
- Approximate likelihood methods for estimation and inference
- Ecological statistics and joint species distribution modeling
- Dimension reduction and model selection for complex data
- Variational approximations and semiparametric regression
- Spatio-temporal and multivariate longitudinal data analysis
Publication Trends: Francis's recent work focuses on robust statistical methods for ecological modeling, including generalized linear mixed models, composite likelihood techniques, and dimension reduction. His research also explores fair actuarial models for retirement outcomes and computational efficiency in handling large-scale environmental datasets.
Projects: Current projects include developing modern statistical methods for clustering community ecology data, enhancing predictive accuracy in spatio-temporal models, and creating scalable tools for multivariate abundance data analysis.
Software: He has contributed to R packages such as assam, COQUE, HPGEE, and gllvm, which implement advanced statistical techniques for ecological and longitudinal data.
