mastodon 4.6.9Academy Research Fellow at INVEST (University of Turku) and PI of PREDLIFE project at University of Jyväskylä. Working on Bayesian statistics, causal inference, state space models, hidden Markov models, general computational statistics and software development, visualization etc. Author of KFAS, bssm, seqHMM, walker, dynamite, Rlibeemd and other R packages.
Hello! Here's my #introduction:
I'm a Senior Researcher in #statistics at the University of Jyväskylä, Finland, where I currently run PREDLIFE project aiming to develop new methods and software for #Bayesian #CausalInference for complex #paneldata.
I'm broadly interested in Bayesian modeling, state space (hidden Markov) models, uncertainty #visualization, and statistical software development. I have developed several #rstats packages such as #KFAS, #bssm, #seqHMM, #walker and #dynamite.
New preprint and R package for causal inference and Bayesian modelling for complex panel data using Dynamic Multivariate Panel Models (DMPMs):
https://osf.io/preprints/socarxiv/mdwu5/
https://docs.ropensci.org/dynamite/index.html
DMPM supports
(1) joint modelling of multiple response variables from mixed distributions
(2) time-varying regression coefficients
(3) posterior predictive simulations for estimation of long-term causal effects
(4) Suitable for both large N and large T case as well as for univariate time series case (N=1)
Preprint introducing the dynamite R package for Bayesian Dynamic Multivariate Panel Model is now on ArXiv:
https://arxiv.org/abs/2302.01607
There is also a short tech note in here: https://ropensci.org/blog/2023/01/31/dynamite-r-package/
We're looking for a senior researcher for CAUSALTIME project at the INVEST Research Flagship Centre at the University of Turku starting 1/2024 at the earliest.
The overall goal of the project is to develop new #Bayesian #causal inference methods for panel/time series data. Depending on your skills and interests, you can work on various methodological and/or applied social science research problems utilising the methods developed in the project.

My daughter and her friend googled me for a theme for her Father's Day card. So now they think I study space. I will enjoy being a cool space scientist instead of a statistician working on state space models.
I think I have at least a few years to find a collaborator for a paper related to actual space so she doesn't feel disappointed when she realizes the truth.
@cameron@bayes.club SPSS.
First time for me to review a double blinded paper where I'm sure both parties actually know each others identities (I've been on the other side before).
@laurau@kamu.social Likewise, good luck with your upcoming defense!
