Tilmann Gneiting as Editor-in-Chief of “The Annals of Applied Statistics”
HITS group leader Professor Tilmann Gneiting is now Editor-In-Chief of the peer-reviewed scientific journal “The Annals of Applied Statistics”, which is published by the Institute of Mathematical Statistics (IMS). He takes over from Professor Stephen A. Fienberg at Carnegie Mellon University in the U.S.
Statistical research spans an enormous range from direct subject-matter collaborations to pure mathematical theory. Established in 2007, The Annals of Applied Statistics aims at papers in the applied half of this range. Published quarterly in both print and electronic form, the journal provides a timely forum for all areas of applied statistics.
Professor Tilmann Gneiting’s research focuses on the theory and practice of forecasts, and on spatial statistics. For many years, he and his team have developed methods for real-time probabilistic weather forecasts. Since November 2013, he has been group leader of the research group “Computational Statistics” at HITS, and is a professor at the Institute of Stochastics at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT).
About HITS
HITS, the Heidelberg Institute for Theoretical Studies, was established in 2010 by physicist and SAP co-founder Klaus Tschira (1940-2015) and the Klaus Tschira Foundation as a private, non-profit research institute. HITS conducts basic research in the natural, mathematical, and computer sciences. Major research directions include complex simulations across scales, making sense of data, and enabling science via computational research. Application areas range from molecular biology to astrophysics. An essential characteristic of the Institute is interdisciplinarity, implemented in numerous cross-group and cross-disciplinary projects. The base funding of HITS is provided by the Klaus Tschira Foundation.
