个人简介：
田国梁，南方科技大学统计与数据科学系教授、博士生导师。1988年获得武汉大学统计学硕士学位、1998年获得中国科学院应用数学研究所的统计学博士学位。从1998至2002年, 他分别在北京大学概率统计系和美国田纳西州孟斐斯市的 St. Jude 儿童研究医院生物统计系从事博士后研究, 2002年至2008年他在美国马里兰大学医学院和Marlene and Stewart?Greenbaum?Comprehensive?癌症中心任 Senior? Biostatistician。2008年至2016年他在香港大学统计及精算学系任副教授、博士生导师。田教授是国际统计学会 (ISI) 当选会员, 他担任 Computational Statistics & Data Analysis, Statistics and Its Interface 等四个国际统计学杂志的副主编。他主要的研究领域是生物统计, 计算统计和社会统计。目前的研究方向包括多元零膨胀计数数据分析、斜与非对称连续数据分析,??(0, 1) 区间上连续比率数据(以及其推广, 即成份数据)的统计分析, 不完全分类数据分析, 和大维随机矩阵的理论方法及应用。他首次提出的分组 Dirichlet 分布、套Dirichlet 分布和G分布在统计分布领域属于创造性的工作,?在生物统计中具有广泛而重要的应用;?他将非随机化的概念引入到敏感性问题的随机化应答技术中,?发展了一个称之为非随机化应答技术的新研究方向。他首次提出了一个新的组装分解 (assembly-decomposition) 方法用以构造MM算法中的替代函数, 为MM算法在统计学中的广泛应用开辟了新的通道. 2017年他的研究课题“MM算法中的几类问题之研究及其应用”>获得国家自然科学基金面上项目的资助。2018年他(排名第二)与南方科技大学环境科学与工程学院郑焰讲席教授的联合研究课题<<中国北方地下水砷不同尺度空间非均质性驱动机制>> 获得国家自然科学基金重点项目的资助。
