• Discrete Data Analysis

Professor Larsson's publication record demonstrates exceptional breadth across statistical theory and applications. His work on autoregressive models, unit root testing, and confidence distributions represents significant theoretical contributions to statistics. He has also made important applied contributions in climate science through his analysis of ice core data examining relationships between temperature, CO2, and methane. His methodological innovations span from discrete factor analysis to shrinkage estimators in beta regression models, with applications in econometrics, educational data, and medical research. His recent work on confidence distributions for autoregressive parameters (2024) continues his long-standing interest in foundational statistical theory.

His collaborative work extends across disciplines, including medical statistics research examining the relationship between serotonergic medication, sunshine, and suicide. His publication record shows consistent high-quality output across top statistical and econometric journals over multiple decades.
