Scholar-generated biography
Alan Huang is a researcher at the University of Queensland with expertise in nonparametric regression, semiparametric regression, empirical likelihood, and generalized linear models. His work focuses on developing statistical methods for modeling complex data structures, including dispersed counts and time-series data. Huang has contributed to the development of Bayesian and mean-parametrized models for Conway-Maxwell-Poisson regression, as well as methods for joint estimation of mean and error distribution in generalized linear models. His research also explores density estimation and nonparametric inferences using maximum likelihood weighted kernels, with applications in environmental and biomedical contexts.
