Biography

Yanrong Yang is a Senior Lecturer of Statistics. Yanrong’s research interests include high dimensional statistical inference and large dimensional random matrix theory. She has established new asymptotic theory for high dimensional statistics and applied her theory to forecasting high dimensional time series and large panel data. Yanrong has published in leading journals including Annals of Statistics, Journal of the Royal Statistical Society: Series B, Journal of the American Statistical Association, and Journal of Econometrics.
