Professor Michael Evans is a faculty member at the University of Toronto, affiliated with the Department of Statistical Sciences (St. George campus) and the Department of Computer and Mathematical Sciences at the Scarborough Campus. His research focuses on statistical inference, Bayesian methods, and measuring statistical evidence through his work on the relative belief ratio. He has contributed to ROC analysis, linear models, and stochastic processes, with recent work addressing biases in statistical reasoning and connections to frequentist criteria.
Research Themes:
- Defining and measuring statistical evidence
- Bayesian inference and prior-data conflict resolution
- Monte Carlo methods and stochastic process theory
Recent Publications explore statistical evidence in scientific practice, medical diagnostics, and Bayesian frameworks. His 2024 Encyclopedia article critiques frequentist criteria, while the 2022 Entropy paper introduces relative belief in ROC analysis.
Awards:
- ASA Fellow (American Statistical Association)
Teaching: He teaches advanced courses like STAC62 (Probability and Stochastic Processes) and STAC63 (Probability and Stochastic Processes II), emphasizing theoretical rigor and applications in fields like mathematical finance and machine learning.
