Models, Algorithms and Software for Statistical Inference

I’m often asked by recruiters, clients, academics or colleagues which models I’ve worked with. This post is an effort to put this all in one place. All of these models, algorithms, and software I’ve worked with in some capacity. This includes implementation, development, application, required understanding, or any combination thereof. This list in non-exhaustive. I’ll try to update this list as I remember. My experience is mostly Bayesian, and these modeling techniques are often used in combination with one another.

Bayesian

models

  • hierarchical/multilevel models
  • Gaussian process models
  • non-linear regression models
  • linear regression models
  • survival models
  • mixture models

  • auto-regressive models or random walk models
  • 1-D time series models (GP or AR models)
  • dose response models
  • functional models (GPs)
