Forecasting

Forecast Correction and Synthesis

Bayesian quantile methods for correcting river-flow forecasts, combining forecast sources, and evaluating predictive distributions with proper scoring rules.

Nonlinear Time Series

Q-DESN Quantile Forecasting

Bayesian quantile readouts for fixed Deep Echo State Network features, with regularized readouts, exAL working likelihoods, MCMC, and variational approximations.

State Space Models

Dynamic Quantile Models

Flexible dynamic quantile linear models with trend, seasonal, regression, transfer-function, forecasting, diagnostics, and posterior synthesis components.

Computation

Scalable Inference and Diagnostics

Variational Bayes, Sequential Monte Carlo, simulation diagnostics, and reproducible workflows for models that need to run repeatedly and be checked carefully.

Best Poster Prize

ISBA 2026 World Meeting

My poster Bayesian quantile-based correction and synthesis of climate products received a Best Poster Prize at the ISBA 2026 World Meeting in Nagoya, Japan. The work presents a Bayesian quantile workflow for correcting climate-product forecasts and synthesizing the corrected quantile lanes into a posterior predictive distribution, with daily San Lorenzo River flow as the case study.

Code and Reproducibility

Selected package code, manuscript-support scripts, and data-processing workflows are collected on the Software page. I keep that page selective so each public example has a clear purpose and enough context to be useful.
