Samir Safi
Gaza, Palestine
Major: PhD in Statistics, 2004
Samir Safi got his Master degree in Statistics in 1998, and PhD in Statistics in 2004. He is now an Assistant Professor of Statistics at the Islamic University of Gaza, Palestine. He has authored several statistics research papers in the area of time series analysis. More precisely, he has worked on comparing estimators in regression models with auto-correlated disturbances and studied when Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) is efficient. He has also worked on computer simulations of time series models to determine the efficiency of OLS in the presence of autocorrelated disturbances, and he considers the robustness of various estimators, including estimated generalized least squares. |
