Financial Econometrics

Students and faculty in the Operations Research and Financial Engineering Department involve in a variety of different projects related to financial economometrics. Financial econometrics is an integration of finance, economics and statistics. It uses statistical techniques and economic theory to address a variety of problems from Finance. These include building financial models, estimation and inferences of financial models, volatility estimation, risk management, testing financial economics theory, capital asset pricing, derivative pricing, portfolio allocation, simulating financial systems, hedging strategies, among others.

Computational Biology


Computational biology is a quantitative approach to understand biological and genomic functions and molecular mechanisms. Researchers at the ORFE Department use cutting edge statistical techniques to analyze mRNA and protein expression from microarray and proteomic experiments. Microarray and proteomic technologies have enabled researchers to monitor simultaneously levels of thousands of genes and proteins as they are expressed in tissues, cell lines, patients' specimens, at particular time and under a variety of different conditions. The techniques have been widely used for monitoring mRNA and protein expression in many areas of biomedical research. These kinds of bioinformatic problems are usually large-scale and high experimental variation. More...

Statistics Theory and Methods

  • Data-analytic modeling
  • Nonlinear time series
  • Analysis of longitudinal data
  • Model selections
  • Survival Analysis

Statistics is a discipline that studies designs, collects and analyzes data from all scientific disciplinary. It pervades every facets of quantitative analysis in science and engineering. The aims of statistics include understanding sampling variability, making inferences and decisions from noisy data, establishing relationship between the covariates and response variables, and predicting future events. The main focus of statistical research at the Department of Operations Research and Financial Engineering is to study the problems arising from Financial Engineering, Security Pricing, Bioinformatics and Health Sciences.
