Biography
As a senior lecturer of Mathematics (specialisation on statistics), I am passion and love sharing my knowledge with my students and colleagues. In research, I’m interested in developing statistical methodologies for a variety of real applications, including medical applications, finance, and reliability. Besides, I’m involved in analysing data using a variety of statistical tools (now popular with data analytics).
My current research is about Nonparametric Predictive Inference (NPI). NPI is a statistical method which uses few modelling assumptions, enabled by the use of lower and upper probabilities to quantify uncertainty. NPI has been presented for many problems in Statistics, Risk and Reliability and Operations Research. There are many research challenges to develop NPI for future applications (for more;http://www.npi-statistics.com/). Specifically, my research is focusing on NPI for bivariate data with considering dependence structure using copula. At the same time, my research is on modeling of cardiovascular diseases (cvds) and development of predictive heart risk score; and development a parametric model for grouped and ungrouped line transect data.
I collaborate and work with a diverse group of colleagues across the university, faculty, departments, and industry to conduct services research. Some previous collaboration and consultations were with Hospital Sultan Ismail (HSI), Johor for cardiovascular diseases (cvds) and KANEKA (M) Sdn Bhd for Risk-based inspection (RBI). Currently, I (and team) consult EMERY Oleochemicals (M) Sdn Bhd for RBI including calculating the probability of failure (PoF) and consequence of failure (CoF).
