Research

I study the effects of measurement errors on statistical research methods as a member of the research group of Social Statistics. Our recent articles have been published, for example, in Computational Statistics & Data Analysis and Journal of Multivariate Analysis.

In general, I am interested in applied statistics, especially in social and behavioral sciences. The topic of my doctoral thesis was the reliability of measurement scales.

I have presented papers e.g. in the 72nd Annual Meeting of the Psychometric Society (Tokyo, Japan), in the 16th International Workshop of Matrices and Statistics (Windsor, Canada), and in the 55th Session of the International Statistical Institute (Sydney, Australia).
