Biography

Yuan Gao is an Associate Lecturer of Statistics.  Yuan conducts research in functional data analysis, functional smoothing, high-dimensional data analysis and time series forecasting. She applies these techniques to country-level demographic data including age-specific mortality and fertility rates with a view to improving the accuracy, and comparability, of the resultant forecasts. Yuan’s PhD involves forecasting multivariate and high-dimensional functional time series data.
