Stats research interests include high dimensional regression problems, where there are more covariates than observations, and combining surveillance techniques with copulas to track long tailed events.
Right now heavily focused on R, but equally lingual in SAS (incl IML), Matlab, STATA, EViews, and VB.
Enjoy integrating different languages with R like JavaScript and C++, to improve workflows.
