Biography:
Magda Peligrad is a professor in the Department of Mathematical Sciences whose area of expertise is Probability Theory and Stochastic Processes. Her research deals with dependent structures and covers various aspects of modeling the dependence, maximal inequalities, and limit theorems. Most of the stochastic processes studied are weakly dependent, i.e. processes for which the dependence is diminishing with time. Example of these processes are: classes of Markov processes, Mixing Processes, Martingale like –sequences, time series, shift processes, associate processes and many others. Some of the limit theorems she discovered have immediate applicability to Statistics of dependent data, Nonparametric statistics and to Ergodic theory, making her field of research multidisciplinary. The results of her research is the subject of over 50 papers and chapters in various books, and a very large number of lectures in United States and abroad. Her research was rewarded by several National Science Foundation and National Security Agency grants. In 2003 she received the title of Taft Professor at the University of Cincinnati.
Research Areas:
Probability Theory and Stochastic Processes,
with a stress on dependent structures and their
limit theorems that can be an immediately implemented in Statistics.
