Personal profile

Biography

Dr. Adriano Polpo is a statistician who likes to develop new methods and to study the statistical theory underlying practical approaches, and to do so properly, he considers that it is necessary to work with real challenges. In the search for such challenges, he was introduced to many different problems in Statistics and collaborated with many researchers in other fields.

Adriano is a graduate of the State University of Campinas, has obtained his PhD from the University of São Paulo, and has taken a post-doctoral sabbatical at Florida State University. He has been mainly working with reliability/survival analysis, regression models for counting data and Bayesian nonparametric methods. He has also been working with statistical hypothesis testing. He was an Associate Professor at the Federal University of São Carlos.

Research

Adriano's research agenda aims at providing solutions to many different problems, from functional data analysis of human gait, studies of the impact of copper nanoparticles in algae (carbon farming), latency to treatment in OCD patients, to methods for the proper use of statistical hypothesis tests, among other practical industrial problems.

Research interests

Research areas: Reliability/Survival analysis theory, Statistical/Machine Learning, AI (Artificial Intelligence) methods, Statistical Hypothesis Test, Bayesian methods, Functional Data Analysis, Biostatistics, Regression Models, Classification Methods, Predictive Data Analysis, Uncertainty Estimation/Evaluation, Resampling Techniques (Bootstrap), Model Evaluation/Comparison (Cross-validaton, k-fold, Information Theory, etc.),   and Time Series Analysis.
