Who I am
I am Yves Deville, a statistical consultant based in Rhône-Alpes (France). I have been practicing applied statistics for more than thirty years and have been working as an independent Statistical Consultant for nearly twenty years. Alpestat is my brand.
What I do
Smart statistical modelling and data analysis, with applications in many fields: energy, energy economics, environmetrics, engineering, ...
R Programming: Coding new algorithms in R, sometimes C or Fortran code, advise on statistical-aimed R packages. I wrote a number of R packages and am author or co-author of some CRAN packages.
Training on statistical methods with R. This can for example: the Linear Model, Time Series Analysis, Gaussian Processes, the Bayesian Framework, Extreme Value Analysis and more.
Review tasks in applied statistics, including methodology and theroretical relevance.
Research in statistics and statistical computing, sometimes self-initiated and (for now) mostly self-founded.
