Statistics: Theory and Applications
Statistics: Theory and Applications (StaTA) is a research group
of the Department of Economics and Management of the University of Trento.
The research areas of StaTA are strongly diversified and range from estimation
theory and hypothesis testing for univariate and multivariate data, to the
sampling theory and modelling techniques for big-data. Specific topics include
goodness-of-fit tests, estimation of heavy-tailed distributions, fractional
moments, spatial sampling, spatial statistics for geo-referenced micro-data,
non-standard probability distributions, complex statistical problems for
ultra-dimensional multivariate data, multivariate models for loss distributions,
simulation methods for intractable likelihoods.
Applications to real-world problems and collaborations with researchers from
other fields are a key part of StaTA’s activities. Particular attention is
devoted to applications for tourism and environment, financial data, spatial
data at firm and regional level, industrial policy evaluation, theoretical
models and indicators for supporting business activities, investigations on
economic phenomena based on spatial sampling techniques.
