Who we are
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.
