Johan Lim



I am a statistician working at Department of Statistics, Seoul National University from 2008. I am a member of MV Stat. Group at SNU. Before join SNU, I worked at Texas A&M University (2003-06) and Yonsei Univeristy (2006-07). Here is my resume.

Research

covariance matrix; fused lasso regression; hidden Markov models; high dimensional multivariate statistics; order related statistical Inference; ranked set sampling.
