Professor François Caron
Professor of Statistics
Biography
I am a Professor of Statistics at the University of Oxford and a Tutorial Fellow of Keble College.
Research Interests
- Statistical machine learning
- Computational statistics
- Bayesian statistics
- Bayesian nonparametrics
- Network analysis
I am interested in the development of statistical models and computational procedures for the analysis of structured data. I have a particular interest in Bayesian nonparametrics and Monte Carlo methods.
