| Introduction | I am a professional economist and R programmer who helps academics and practitioners in the industry implement their theories into practice. My expertise is in the areas of statistical programming (using R and Bayesian statistics software, BUGS), financial analysis (pension simulation and portfolio maximization), simulation methods (bootstrapping and Monte Carol), school finance (equity and adequacy), productivity measurement (using DEA and SFA), structural changes (based on scale and scope economies), and data visualization.

| Interests | If you are in a field of social science and love to estimate parameters. Well, you are not alone. I did not receive too much formal mathematical training since my Bachelor major is education. However, I do love math and statistics, so I spend much time auditing these courses in my early tertiary degree. Formal math and statistical training began in 2012. I studied a postgraduate degree in Economics at the University of Queensland. Then, I follow my passion for Economics of Education and study a Ph.D. Program in Economics at Griffith University now. These experiences let know how hard to learn statistics for a student with limited math background. Therefore, this website is built for providing tips for learning statistical estimation. Since I am a Bayesian now, most posts could have some relationships with Bayesian estimation. If you consider the post is the estimated parameters, you will find out that all my posts leave the message at the end "This article will continuously be updated...". This is because I follow the spirit of Bayes and update my parameter (post) through new information (data or evidence). |
