Fields of expertise
Applications, particularly to environmental and biological data.
Mission
The goal of my academic work is to further the development of statistical science through teaching at all university levels, through the development and application of new approaches to data analysis, and through collaboration both within and outwith the EPFL.Biography
Anthony Davison has published on a wide range of topics in statistical theory and methods, and on environmental, biological and financial applications. His main research interests are statistics of extremes, likelihood asymptotics, bootstrap and other resampling methods, and statistical modelling, with a particular focus on the first currently.Statistics of extremes concerns rare events such as storms, high winds and tides, extreme pollution episodes, sporting records, and the like. The subject has a long history, but under the impact of engineering and environmental problems has been an area of intense development in the past 20 years. Davison
