History of the Department of Statistics

The department that exists today can be traced back, on the one hand, to the statistical program organised starting in 1889 by Pontus Fahlbeck (1850–1923), who was professor of political science and statistics at Lund University, and on the other hand, to the research done by Professor Carl Charlier (1862–1934), an astronomer with a strong interest in statistics. Charlier, although not formally a

Spatial and Temporal Data Analysis

In this field, researchers are focused on tackling challenges related to understanding complex problems that involve both spatial and temporal variations. These issues require advanced techniques to model the simultaneous impact of these variations effectively. The data involved in these studies are often extensive, making traditional analytical methods impractical. Instead, researchers need to cr

High-dimensional and Functional Data Analysis

In the realm of Artificial Intelligence (AI), the group is exploring ways to address a critical question: how can we manage multiple tests effectively using less complex methods like lasso, slope, and neural networks (NN)? Specifically, they are investigating techniques to control the False Discovery Rate (FDR) while utilizing NN. This involves the practical development of algorithms for regulariz

Non-linear and Non-Gaussian Time Series Modeling

The research in this area is concentrated on understanding complex, non-linear stochastic time series, particularly in the context of finance. Researchers focus on statistical methods for these intricate systems and apply them to financial scenarios. Various versions of GARCH-type volatility models are explored to analyze statistical aspects of conditional heteroscedastic models, commonly used in
