Mohammad Qamarul Islam

Prof. Mohammad Qamarul Islam is a Professor in the Statistics Department at Middle East Technical University (METU), Turkey, a position held since 2016. Previously, he served as Professor (2010-2016), Associate Professor (2005-2010), and Assistant Professor (1999-2005) in the Economics Department at Cankaya University. His academic career spans over four decades with prior appointments at METU (1983-1999) and Pakistani institutions including Gomal University and Karachi University.

Education:

• Ph.D. in Statistics (1989), Middle East Technical University, Turkey
• M.Sc. in Statistics (1972), University of Karachi, Pakistan

Research Focus: Prof. Islam specializes in advanced statistical methodologies with emphasis on Statistical Inference and Robust Methods. His work bridges theoretical statistics and practical applications through Nonparametric Techniques, Multivariate Analysis, and Econometric Modeling. Current investigations focus on regression under non-standard error distributions and experimental design optimization, contributing significantly to statistical theory validation in real-world scenarios.

Publication Trends: His 2012-2016 publications reveal concentrated expertise in multivariate regression under non-ideal conditions (non-normal/elliptical errors), demonstrating methodological innovations for robust parameter estimation. Recent work extends to model uncertainty quantification in time series, reflecting his evolving focus on practical statistical challenges in economic and scientific data analysis.
