Research interests

Bayesian statistics: exchangeability and partial exchangeability, prior distributions for nonparametric models, functionals of the Dirichel process, inference on Fréchet and Lancaster classes

Population forecasting: stochastic population forecasting, forecasts based on conditional expert opinions

Confidence distributions: finite and large sample properties of confidence distributions, application to Rasch model, use of confidence distributions in hypothesis testing
