Richard Samworth

I am a lecturer in Statistics in the Statistical Laboratory, a sub-department of the Department of Pure Mathematics and Mathematical Statistics. This is part of the Faculty of Mathematics at the University of Cambridge. I am also a Teaching Fellow at St John's College.

Since January 2009, I have been Honorary Secretary of the Research Section Committee of the Royal Statistical Society, which is responsible for administrating the RSS Read Papers at its Ordinary Meetings. In this role, I would like to invite anyone to submit groundbreaking statistical manuscripts for consideration as a Read Paper via Manuscript Central.

Research interests:

• Shape-constrained estimation problems

• Nonparametric classification, clustering and regression problems

• High-dimensional variable selection

• The bootstrap

• Applications, including archaeology and oceanography
