My main research area is Statistics, ranging from theory to applications with the
latter primarily in ecological and biostatistical applications. My current work is
focused primarily on measurement error in time series and longitudinal data, with
particular interest in population dynamics, and methods associated with misclassification
(in in collaboration with colleagues at the University of Oslo Medical School). Other
areas of continuing interest include estimating distributions in the presence of
measurement error, estimation in two-stage models (including random coefficents and
meta-analysis and regression/synchrony in spatial-temporal settings.
