is to develop Bayesian statistical methodology and computational schemes
for mixture
problems including flexible modelling of regression functions, variable
selection and graphical
models. A second aim of the project is to apply the techniques in a number
of fields including
marketing, finance, and health related disciplines in conjunction with
experts in these fields.
Professor Robert Kohn, Dr Sally Wood (AGSM) and Dr David Nott
(Mathematics)

Bayesian Inference for Multivariate Hierarchical Regression Models
Funded by an Australian Research Council grant, the primary aim of this
research is to develop
Bayesian statistical methodology and computational schemes for
multivariate data
that is either Gaussian or non-Gaussian. The project will look at issues
such as
variable selection, graphical models, and random effects models in
multivariate data,
model selection and model diagnostics. A second aim of the project is to
apply
the techniques in a number of fields including marketing, finance, and
health related
disciplines in conjunction with experts in these fields. Professor Robert
Kohn will supervise this position
Successful applicants for the above positions will contribute to the
research through
the development of methodology, computational software, data analysis, and
contribution
to scientific publications.
Both positions are full-time fixed-term positions for a period of up to
