معرفی
Mohsen Pourahmadi is a Professor in the Department of Statistics at Texas A&M University, part of the College of Arts & Sciences. His research focuses on developing methodologies for modeling covariance matrices in multivariate and time series data, with applications to financial analysis, longitudinal studies, neuroeconomics, and high-dimensional data. Key tools include graphical lasso algorithms, Cholesky decomposition, and Bayesian approaches. He emphasizes extending generalized linear models (GLM) to covariance matrix estimation, leveraging prediction theory and stochastic processes.
Education details are not explicitly provided in the text. His work spans theoretical advancements in covariance estimation, such as sparse VAR models, nonstationary process analysis, and regularized multivariate regression. He has contributed to applications like detecting cyber attacks on infrastructure systems and analyzing breast cancer data through Bayesian networks.
Research interests include time series graphical models, antedependence models for longitudinal data, and regularization techniques for high-dimensional covariance matrices. His recent work explores fused-lasso penalties, Bayesian correlation matrix estimation, and stationary subspace analysis. Pourahmadi has authored numerous articles on topics ranging from multivariate volatility modeling to nonparametric covariance estimation, emphasizing both computational efficiency and theoretical rigor.
