Research themes include: Investigations of core foundations and conceptual underpinnings of dynamic modelling and model structures, sequential statistical analysis, learning in time-varying contexts, forecasting and prediction with multiple goals and utilities, and relevant areas of Bayesian methodology and statistical computation, for time series of all kinds. Duke Statistical Science has been a leading center for Bayesian forecasting, time series modelling and analysis for many years, and current topical research areas of emphasis continue to grow and enhance that tradition. Research in the foundations and conceptual underpinnings of probabilistic forecasting (a.k.a. prediction) are increasingly paramount in the face of escalation of the scales of dynamic systems, data sets and relevant models, this links to major stimuli to new modelling developments for increasingly large and complex dynamic data sets, and to the need for innovation in both theoretical and applied areas of emerging dynamic decision analysis linked to many kinds of coupled forecastingdecision problems.
