Research Interests

Statistical inference of stochastic processes embedded within stochastically evolving networks. Examples include statistical decision problems in population genetics, phylogenetics, ecological genetics, and set-valued statistics.

  2. Multi-resolution lumped n-coalescents and ancestral recombination graphs in population genetics
  3. Constructions of spatial coagulation-fragmentation processes
  4. Approximate sufficiency via n-coalescent experiment graphs in population genetics
  5. LCE: A C++ class library for lumped coalescent experiments in population genetics

Set-valued Statistical Algorithms

  1. Extending integer, real and interval arithmetic to multi-dimensional metric data structures
  2. Exact trans-dimensional samplers
  3. Non-parametric set-valued statistics for classifiers of spherically homeomorphic 3D shapes
  4. Non-parametric high-dimensional density estimators and set-valued plug-in estimators for massive data
  5. Rigorous prameter estimation in non-linear systems with machine-representable sub-sigma algebras -- a collaboration between Laboratory for Mathematical Statistical Experiments and Computer-Aided Proofs in Analysis, a research group in the Department of Mathematics, Uppsala University, Sweden.
  6. MRS: A C++ class library for statistical set processing in computational statistics
