My Research
Areas of current interests:
(1) Dimension asymptotics I study the asymptotic properties
of estimators when the parameter dimension grows to infinity with the sample size.
(2) The Analysis of Biases I seek analytic formulas for parameter estimators
and their behaviors for both finite and growing sample size.
(3) Big Data Analysis: I explore big data linear/generalized linear/robust
linear regression via the nonuniform subsampling method. I seek optimal sampling
distributions by minimizing the variance-covariance matrix of the subsampling estimator.
Our focus is on statistical inference even though we also try to solve the problem
from the algorithmic perspective.
(4) Empirical Likelihood: I study empirical likelihood for constraints to use
estimated criterion functions and and for the growing number of constraints especially
for U-statistics related problems. My focus is not only testing problems but
efficient estimation with side information.

My Hobbies:
I like sports. My favorite sports are running, swimming, roller-skating, and hiking.
I like to go to sea shores and clim mountains. I also play basket ball, tennis and table tennis
although I am not good at them.
