معرفی
Jakob Bergman serves as Senior Lecturer, Associate Professor, and Director of Studies at Lund University's Department of Statistics. His academic profile demonstrates significant expertise in compositional data analysis, where he studies vectors of proportions (compositions) that arise across diverse fields including geochemistry, household economics, and political science.
His research focuses on developing innovative statistical methodologies, particularly his compositional loess method for smoothing compositional time series data. Bergman maintains active interdisciplinary collaborations with archaeologists like Mikael Larsson (on cereal grain analysis and early farming practices) and philosophers like Martin Jönsson (on post-hoc interventions and gender bias in research funding systems).
Bergman's scholarly output reveals strong interdisciplinary trends, with recent publications bridging statistics with archaeology, political science, and philosophy. His work consistently addresses practical methodological challenges while maintaining theoretical rigor, particularly in analyzing party shares over time and archaeological specimen compositions.
As an educator, Bergman teaches theoretical and applied statistics across undergraduate, advanced, and PhD programs, with special emphasis on sampling/survey research and regression analysis. His outreach extends to providing statistical expertise to numerous NGOs, authorities, and companies.
His research contributes to UN Sustainable Development Goals related to quality education and gender equality. Bergman has led significant projects including 'Post-hoc Interventions' at Pufendorf IAS and 'Manure matters' investigating early farming practices through nitrogen analysis of archaeological crop assemblages.
