I love math. This includes but is definitely not limited to what is taught in high school; I gladly conjecture that the majority of people living in the US have little idea as to what math really is. It is not just a bunch of equations that old men develop to increase the stress levels of their students. Math is the language in which motion, patterns, nature , etc. are described precisely. Randomness is the area in which I am obsessed, and statistics (as well as probability) attempts to describe this. For these reasons, I have chosen to pursue this area by attending the Statistics graduate program at Baylor University that will lead to my eventual Ph.D. You can view my departmental profile here.
At Baylor I am a 3rd year Ph.D. student in Statistics. My research interests are statistical pattern recognition, discriminant analysis, machine learning, computational statistics, and high-dimensional statistics. I’m also very interested in some areas of “pure mathematics”, specifically linear algebra and matrix theory. My background also includes computer science and software development.
At ramhiser.com I am analyzing as many data sets as I can and for which I have the time. These include Bayesian and classical statistics methods. Feedback is much appreciated because I am trying to increase my experience and to improve my trade.
