MATHEMATICS RESEARCH AREAS

The research interests of the Statistics Group include both the development and application of theoretical and applied statistical methods, with much of this work involving collaboration with other departments at NUIG and with other Universities across the world.

Name	Research Interests
John Hinde	Models for discrete data with applications in biometry; generalized linear models; overdispersion, random effects and mixture models; statistical computing; likelihood inference; analysis of microarray data.
Jerome N. Sheahan	Interests include robustness in regression, time series and multivariate models (especially asymptotic behaviour of estimators), and applied probability problems.
John Newell	Applications in medicine, biology and sports science; survival analysis (including bivariate survival problems); statistical computing and computational inference; Functional Data Analysis.
Paul Wilson	Truncated and modified discrete distributions, including modelling and parameter estimation for data from such distributions. Mathematical and statistical education.
Emma Holian	Interests initially in Actuarial studies in particular statistical modelling in life insurance and progressed to Bioinformatics, current research entails statistical analysis of variation in microarray experiments in conjunction with the National Centre for Biomedical Engineering Science at NUIG.
