My research interests are broad and include time series analysis, distribution-free goodness of fit testing and statistical modelling in ecological applications. I am a joint author, along with Granville Tunnicliffe Wilson and Marco Reale, of a 2015 Chapman & Hall/CRC research monograph, Models for Dependent Time Series. I have been funded, along with collaborators in the School of Biological Sciences, on two Royal Society of New Zealand Marsden projects and I have a large number of applied publications, with many collaborators.
