Applied Quantitative Methods & Statistics
Statistical inference, Bayesian modeling, causal discovery, and empirical analytics.
Core Sub-topics & Research Themes
Bayesian Computational Inference & MCMC
Gibbs sampling, Hamiltonian Monte Carlo (HMC), No-U-Turn Sampler (NUTS), prior elicitation, and posterior predictive checking.
Causal Inference & Instrumental Variables
Potential outcomes framework, directed acyclic graphs (DAGs), difference-in-differences (DiD), synthetic controls, and regression discontinuity.
High-Dimensional Statistics & Regularization
Lasso, Ridge, Elastic Net, sparse PCA, false discovery rate (FDR) control, and non-parametric smoothing.
Operations Research & Stochastic Decision Systems
Integer linear programming, queuing networks, Markov decision processes (MDP), and multi-criteria optimization.
Mathematical & Applied Methodologies
Probabilistic Programming Languages
Formulation and sampling of hierarchical and non-linear latent variable models.
Empirical Validation & Cross-Validation
Rigorous guarding against overfitting, survivorship bias, and data snooping.
