Research Projects
Statistics
I do statistics. If you are at
Reed, I am happy to be consulted about your statistical analysis
problems. My interests include data analysis, maximum likelihood and
Bayes estimation, and statistical computing. One long term project is
soccer ratings, aka
dynamic generalized linear models for discrete even time series. I have been
working on seismology and other projects related to volcanoes since my last
sabbatical.
The
American Statistical Association has a
Section on Statistics in Sports.
I am also on the
United States Chess Federation ratings committee;
chaired by Mark Glickman.
