THESIS SUPERVISION
I'm available to supervise theses on the subject of statistical (also descriptive) data analysis.
I generally ask the student to propose a theme, but I am available to help the student find a suitable one.
Knowledge of statistical software may be required, for example the R language used in the course Statistics laboratory for economic applications.
