Research theme:

Analysis of whole time series

Aim: to develop tools that can be used by epidemiologists. Example: the number of new cases of a notifiable disease (e.g. E. coli infection).

Development of integer models similar to some classical models: bilinear type and GARCH model.

The Ginar integer process model with thresholds was introduced and used to model the number of new cases of hepatitis.

The model with self-triggering thresholds was defined to explain the evolution of certain notifiable diseases.

All these models are of great interest for epidemic prevention. They can also be applied in certain financial contexts, such as the daily number of significant changes in the value of a stock.
