Research Interests
  • Historically, in smoothing methods, particularly kernel smoothing. Contributions include to automatic bandwidth selection, higher order bias kernel density estimators, semiparametric density estimation, coping with non-standard data situations, and a load of detailed questions.
  • Currently, much more interested in what I call distributionology! In particular, I feel that parametric distributions with a small number of shape parameters have a lesser place in statistical modelling than they deserve. Am trying to focus more on inferential issues associated with such distributions, but am inevitably also interested in their properties and generation.
  • In addition, a variety of miscellaneous topics in statistics, including applications (especially to archaeology).
