Research Themes and Scholarly Interests

His statistical research primarily is in the related fields of classification, cluster analyses, factor analysis, linear modeling, as well as multivariate and matrix-variate analyses in the field of applied statistical inference. He focuses on using finite mixture models and on estimation via the EM algorithm. A common theme of his research in these fields has been statistical computation, with particular attention being given to the methodology of distribution theory.
