- Ph.D. in Statistics, University of Washington (1986)
His research focuses on theoretical statistics, particularly the asymptotic theory of non-regular estimation, quantile regression, and extreme value theory. Recent work explores the asymptotic distribution of L_infinity estimators in linear regression, algorithmic leveraging in regression analysis, and modifications to the Hill estimator for robustness and bias reduction. Earlier contributions include studies on shrinkage estimation, model averaging, and penalized least squares methods.
The articles reflect his expertise in statistical theory, with recurring themes in regression analysis, extreme value theory, and econometric modeling. Keywords span statistics, machine learning, and applied mathematics, while sub-fields include quantile regression, bias correction, and Bernstein polynomials.
