Lehre:
Zu meinen Vorlesungen Wahrscheinlichkeitsrechnung I und II
gibt es ein Skript, auf StudIP für die zur jeweiligen Vorlesung angemeldeten
Hörer, sowie, vielleicht weniger aktuell, frei hier: Skriptversion vom 2024-09-27.
Hinweise auf Fehler und andere Unzulänglichkeiten werden stets dankbar entgegengenommen.
Demnächst von mir angebotene Vertiefungsveranstaltungen,
basierend auf einer Vorlesung Wahrscheinlichkeitstheorie:
Im Wintersemester 2024/25: Mathematische Statistik, (4+2)-stündig, Übungen zusammen mit Lea Willems,
dienstags 8-10 und mittwochs 8-12.
Abschlussarbeiten vergebe ich vorzugsweise auf der Grundlage auch bei mir absolvierter
Vertiefungsveranstaltungen. Beispielsweise bildet eine Vorlesung Mathematische Statistik,
idealerweise ergänzt durch ein verwandtes Seminar, eine natürliche
Grundlage für eine Bachelorarbeit im Bereich der Mathematischen Statistik.
Sehr gute Studienabschlussarbeiten führen manchmal recht direkt zu Publikationen, wie die weiter unten
stehenden Nummern 35 und 31 sowie die bei Springer Spektrum in der Reihe "Best Masters" erschienenen
Büchlein:
Henning Höllwarth (2015).
Beiträge zur Mathematischen Stichprobentheorie. Statistische Modellbildung
mit Stichprobendesigns und anderen Morphismen.
(Geleitwort dazu)
Achim Mees (2015).
Zur Robustheit von Konfidenzbereichen und Tests für Erwartungswerte.

Ein Leserbrief (Herbst 2014):
Also existiert Gott!
Ausführlichere Fassung eines auf Seite 990 im
Dezemberheft 2014 von
Forschung und Lehre gekürzt erschienenen Leserbriefes;
dieser bezieht sich auf eine "mathematische Knobelei" von Christian Hesse mit dem Titel "Wahrheit"
im
Oktoberheft auf Seite 871, dort Aufgabe 2.
Editing:
Theory of Probability and Mathematical Statistics,
see also here,
a journal founded in 1970 by A.V. Skorokhod, was up to 2019
a translation of the Ukranian original, but is now since 2020 published in
English only, jointly by the American Mathematical Society and
by Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv.
I happen to be on its Editorial Board.
Research:
My purely mathematical research interests are in mathematical statistics,
in probability theory, and in related parts of mathematical analysis.
Currently I am working in particular on various stochastic inequalities,
including confidence regions and error bounds in the central limit theorem,
and also on a formalisation of the von Mises approach to
probability (as used to some extent in my lecture notes on
Wahrscheinlichkeitsrechnung available above).
My research in applied mathematics so far mostly concerned statistics
in infection control and hospital epidemiology.
