Ph.D. position at the University of Luxembourg
The Department of Mathematics of the University of Luxembourg ( DMATH ) is seeking an excellent candidate for a PhD position in the area of Mathematical Statistics , with an expected starting date in 2026 . ----------------------- Supervisor : Prof. Yannick Baraud ( https://math.uni.lu/baraud/Home.html ) PhD topic : Classical Bayesian methods can be used to construct estimators with good statistical properties. For example, when the data are i.i.d. and come from a distribution belonging to a parameterised model with a suitable prior distribution, numerous studies show that the posterior distribution is concentrated around the parameter associated with the distribution of the data. Despite their popularity, these methods nevertheless have certain limitations. In particular, when the data-generating distribution does not belong to the family of distributions chosen as the model, the estimators obtained may be of...
