Hi
My name is Yangzhuoran Yang, but usually I let people call me Fin since that’s easier if you don’t speak Chinese.
I am now close to finishing my PhD after a much-hated covid halt (during which I was practising amateur applied economics), and am looking for a job! My PhD is about using components in time series forecasting, under the supervision of Professor Rob J. Hyndman, Professor George Athanasopoulos, and Assoc Professor Anastasios Panagiotelis
Recently I have been thinking about the mismatch between the assumption of forecasting models and the DGP itself, and how this can be mitigated by the post-forecast adjustment process. In the long run, I hope to study more about methods and theories that assume less but still provide practical guidance for our understanding of time series forecasting.
I am a frequent R package writer. I have also been teaching for a while.
