7.  Brief description of Research and Teaching activities

 

A. Research:

 

  •     In the early days of my research, I was mainly concerned with classical estimation and testing in statistical reliability. I also used the concept of preliminary testing, shrinkage techniques, adaptive estimation, etc. for improving the existing procedures.

  •       My interest soon shifted to Bayesian paradigm and I started working in the area of Bayesian estimation mainly in life testing and reliability and survival analysis. Besides, I developed some important tools of Bayesian computation especially for low-dimensional non-regular families and censored data problems. I am still continuing with the Bayesian paradigm and now a-days engaged in developing Bayesian computational techniques for low dimensional reliability models especially in the situations where data available are scarce, compounded with (complex) censoring mechanism.

B. Ph.D. Produced under my Supervision:

 

1.  Some Inferences for Life Time Models When the Observations are Complete and Censored - 1994 by Shastri, Vastoshpati.

Ø Mr. Shastri was recipient of Junior Research Fellowship and soon after the completion of his Ph.D., he joined as Lecturer at Government Post graduate College, Ratlam.

2.  Bayesian Analysis for Some Failure Time Distributions - 1994 by Agrawal, Rekha.

Ø Ms. Rekha Agrawal was also recipient of prestigious National JRF award and soon after the completion of her Ph.D., she joined as Principal at an Intermediate College in M.P.

3.  Sample Based Approaches for the Analysis of Certain Reliability Models - 1998 by Vasishta, Naveen.

Ø Mr. Naveen Vasishta joined as Ph.D. scholar on deputation from Department of Science and technology, Government of India, New Delhi, and he returned back to his position after completion of his Ph.D. degree. At present he is Scientist at the Department of Science & Technology, New Delhi.

4.  Posterior Analysis for Some Complex Failure Models - 2002 by Meena Peshwani.

Ø Ms. Peshwani was mainly concerned with the complex failure models mostly untouched in Bayesian literature.  In the initial phase she appeared to be quite irritating but she came up with really nice solutions. Her work was very much appreciated by the academic audience during her presentation. She is at present working as Lecturer in a Management Institution.

5.  Bayesian Analysis via Sample Based Approaches: A Study for Certain Less Explored Failure Models – 2002 by Iftikhar Ahmed Javed

Ø Mr. Javed was perhaps the first student who took minimum time (almost three years) in completing his Ph. D. thesis. At present he is managing and looking after his own school.

6. MCMC Based Solutions of Some Problems Related to Bathtub Shaped Hazard Rate    Function-2008 by Ashutosh Gupta

Ø Mr. Ashutosh Gupta was an excellent student who was also recipient of CSIR Junior Research Fellowship that was latter converted to Senior Research Fellowship. He finished his work in less than three years and just after his submission, he joined as Asst. Manager in Glaxo Smith Kline at Bangalore.

7. Model Comparison in Certain Lifetime Contexts: A Bayes Study-2008 by Bhaswati Mukherjee

Ø Ms. Bhaswati Mukherjee was Lecturer prior to his registration under my supervision. She was very much interested in completing her work with me on a topic using Bayesian paradigm. After completion of her work in almost three years, she joined as a research scientist in Bristol Myers Squibb India Pvt. Ltd.

8. Bayesian Solutions of Some Medical Data Problems-2009 by Puja Makkar

Ø Ms. Puja Makkar took applied problems for her Ph.D. and she mainly considered analysis of a few realistic data arising from medical field. Most of her problems were quite useful both from the view points of medical practitioners and applied statisticians. The most important aspect of her work was simple and routine implementation of techniques for solving complex medical problems.  

 

 v   All my students defended their work quite nicely in the viva voce examination and they were very much appreciated by the board of examiners with me as chair.

 

c. Teaching:

  •      In 28 years of my teaching career I have taught a number of courses at undergraduate, postgraduate and diploma levels. At undergraduate level, I have taught full year courses on Sampling Techniques and Design of Experiments, Fundamentals of Mathematical Statistics, Applied Statistics, Introduction to Computers and Programming with FORTRAN, Elementary courses on probability theory and Statistical Inference to the students of Statistics. Besides, I have taught a full year course on Computer Organization and Architecture to the students of B.Sc. (Hons.) computer Science for three consecutive sessions.

  •      At postgraduate level, I have taught courses on Statistical Decision Theory, Multivariate Analysis, Real Analysis, Statistical Inference, Bayesian Methodology, Computer Intensive Statistical Methods, etc. Besides, I have taught a small portion on Survival Analysis to the students of M.Sc. (Health Statistics) at the Institute of Medical Sciences, BHU.

  •      The Department of Statistics, BHU, is also running a Diploma course (now it is one- year certificate course) for the students and teachers of other departments. The primary objective of this course is to develop the basic statistical awareness and concepts among the students and researchers of other disciplines. I have taught for several years in this course as well.

  •      Besides teaching of theory papers, I have taken practical classes (mostly based on the theory papers that I was concerned with) also at undergraduate, postgraduate and diploma levels.

 

d. Supervising Project Report of Students:

  •      In order to provide practical training to our students, we have Project Report writing at both UG and PG levels as part of the curricula. Usually, 5-6 UG students and 2-3 PG students are allotted to work under each teacher of the Department. These students usually select a relevant topic after consulting their allotted teachers and then prepare a questionnaire for collecting data from the field. The data collected are then analyzed using different statistical tools. The students finally summarize every detail in the form of a Project Report for submission in the Department. In the last 26 years of my teaching career I have supervised nearly 60 PG students and more than 100 UG students for their Project work.

 

e. Curriculum development:

  •      Prepared several courses at under-graduate, post-graduate, and research levels. Some of the important courses were Introduction to Computers and Programming with FORTRAN, Computer Organization and Architecture (both courses of UG level) and Statistical Inference, Bayesian Inference, Computer Intensive Statistical Methods (at both PG and Ph.D. levels). A curriculum on Bayesian inference was developed in a joint venture when I was a member of Syllabus formation committee at national level.
