Job title:
Professor Emeritus of Statistics, Professor of The Graduate School
Research interests:
Bickel’s main theoretical interest is in understanding how statistical problems are understood with high dimensional datasets without knowing much else. This has led him to focus on estimation of covariance matrices and their eigenstructures in high dimensions. Parallel applied interests are in computational biology, specifically at the moment regulatory networks in the cell, and atmospheric sciences, in part as a ready source of questions based on very high dimensional data.
