Prof. Marek Gagolewski

My research interests include data science, machine learning, data aggregation and clustering, computational and applied statistics, and mathematical modelling (the science of science, sport, economics, social sciences, psychometrics, bibliometrics, etc.). In my spare time, I write books for my students and develop open-source data analysis software.
