Siddhartha Chib
Statistician and econometrician
Siddhartha Chib is an econometrician and statistician, the Harry C. Hartkopf Professor of Econometrics and Statistics at Washington University in St. Louis . His work is primarily in Bayesian statistics , econometrics, and Markov chain Monte Carlo methods .
Key papers include Albert and Chib (1993)[ 1] which introduced an approach for binary and categorical response models based on latent variables that simplifies the Bayesian analysis of categorical response models; Chib and Greenberg (1995)[ 2] which provided a derivation of the Metropolis-Hastings algorithm from first principles, guidance on implementation and extensions to multiple-block versions; Chib (1995)[ 3] where a new method for calculating the marginal likelihood from the Gibbs output is developed; Chib and Jeliazkov (2001)[ 4] where the method of Chib (1995) is extended to output of Metropolis-Hastings chains; Basu and Chib (2003)[ 5] for a method for finding marginal likelihoods in Dirichlet process mixture models; Carlin and Chib (1995)[ 6] which developed a model-space jump method for Bayesian model choice via Markov chain Monte Carlo methods; Chib (1998)[ 7] which introduced a multiple-change point model that is estimated by the methods of Albert and Chib (1993)[ 8] and Chib (1996)[ 9] for hidden Markov processes; Kim, Shephard and Chib (1998)[ 10] which introduced an efficient inference approach for univariate and multivariate stochastic volatility models;[ 11] [ 12] and Chib and Greenberg (1998)[ 13] which developed the Bayesian analysis of the multivariate probit model .
He has also developed original methods for Bayesian inference in Tobit censored responses,[ 14] discretely observed diffusions,[ 15] univariate and multivariate ARMA processes,[ 16] [ 17] multivariate count responses,[ 18] causal inference,[ 19] [ 20] hierarchical models of longitudinal data,[ 21] nonparametric regression,[ 22] [ 23] and unconditional and conditional moment models.[ 24] [ 25]
Biography
He received a bachelor's degree from St. Stephen’s College, Delhi , in 1979, an M.B.A. from the Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad , in 1982, and a Ph.D. in economics from the University of California, Santa Barbara , in 1986.[ 26] His advisors were Sreenivasa Rao Jammalamadaka and Thomas F. Cooley .
Honors and awards
He is a fellow of the American Statistical Association (2001),[ 27] the International Society of Bayesian Analysis (2012),[ 28] and the Journal of Econometrics (1996).[ 29]
