Summary
Prior to taking up a Chair in Statistics at Imperial in 2005, Alastair Young was Reader in Methodological Statistics at the Statistical Laboratory, University of Cambridge. He has particular research interest in contemporary, computer-intensive, approaches to frequentist statistics, with particular focus on bootstrap and related approaches to parametric and non-parametric inference. He also is very active in the development of approximation methods, such as saddlepoint procedures, in statistics, and in development of inference procedures for spatial data. Alastair is a Fellow of the Institute of Mathematical Statistics, and former Joint Editor of the Journal of the Royal Statistical Society, Series B.
