eeecon: Research Platform Empirical and Experimental Economics

Research

I am a member of the Statistics in Sports and Health group at the Department of Statistical Science, UCL. I am also involved in the development of the R packages trackeR for running and cycling data and psychomix for fitting mixtures of psychometric models.
