Unfortunately, I can not maintain packages or participate to their development unless I have some kind of financial support for that. In the last decade I have had the opportunity to participate to the developpement of some packages that are now released on CRAN, working with different co-authors and contributors. https://www.alpestat.com/post/2021-02-24-alpestat/ Wed, 24 Feb 2021 00:00:00 +0000 https://www.alpestat.com/post/2021-02-24-alpestat/ 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. https://www.alpestat.com/renv/ Wed, 24 Feb 2021 00:00:00 +0000 https://www.alpestat.com/renv/ I have been continuously using R since 1999. R is ideally suited for statistical consulting: an amazing number of quality tools for statistical analysis are available, and new ones can be implemented as well when needed. A statistical project, be it analysis reviewing or training, can always be "packaged" in a neat format including data, programs, documentation and reports. R is well-suited for Reproducible Research (RR) which I consider as very important in the practice of statistics. https://www.alpestat.com/stat/ Mon, 22 Feb 2021 00:00:00 +0000 https://www.alpestat.com/stat/ Here are a few chapters of statistical analysis that I frequently use in applications The linear model and generalised linear model Non-linear regression analysis Time-series models (including continuous time), state-space models and Kalman filtering, Hidden Markov models Maximum likelihood theory and profile-likelihood Bayesian inference Extreme-Value modelling Gaussian Processes (GP) including Latent GPs hierarchical modelling Although I am occasionally involved in some research, I feel free of any promotion task when working with data. https://www.alpestat.com/activities/ Sat, 20 Feb 2021 00:00:00 +0000 https://www.alpestat.com/activities/ Some activities related to statistics, applied or theoretical Software adviser for the chair Oquaido devoted to applied mathematics years 2016-2020 Participation in the development several R packages including kergp.

On Cross-Validated, as user "Yves" Member of the American Statistical Association and of the Royal Statistical Society https://www.alpestat.com/publis/ Sat, 20 Feb 2021 00:00:00 +0000 https://www.alpestat.com/publis/ As a rule, my work is confidential. For instance, a nice forecasting method turns into a competitive advantage for my customer and I would definitely not publish any detail on this. Although I wrote many thousands of pages of reports and dozens of slideshows (nearly all with reproducible research tools), these were most often under a confidentiality agreement. A few exceptions to confidentiality are for the long-form documentation of publicly released packages and for scientific documents or articles written in collaboration with academic researchers. https://www.alpestat.com/vita/ Sat, 20 Feb 2021 00:00:00 +0000 https://www.alpestat.com/vita/ Employment 2006-...
