Research Result
I have varied research interests in Theoretical/Mathematical Statistics. Although I primarily work in the areas of Theoretical/Mathematical Statistics, some of the research methodologies proposed by me and my co-workers have found interesting applications in molecular sciences and engineering. My current research interests can be classified into following five broad areas :
Entropy Estimation
Applied Probability
Theory of Stochastic Orders and Its Applications
Estimation in Restricted Parametric Space
Ranking and Selection Problems and Related Estimation Problems
