Bio
Tao Wang is an Econometrician who ³Ô¹ÏÍø issues in Nonparametric Estimation and Machine Learning. His current research concentrates on building and developing a broad variety of modal and mode-based regression models and investigating their statistical inference with possible applications.
He also works on applying Econometrics and Machine Learning in an integral manner to improve the performance of Econometrics Models. He received his PhD from the University of California, Riverside in June 2022.
