Prof. Jan De Neve

Introduction

Prof. Jan De Neve completed his PhD in Statistical Data Analysis in 2013 at Ghent University and is currently a faculty member at the Faculty of Psychology and Educational Sciences. His research primarily focuses on developing semi-parametric methods for the analysis of behavioral data, leveraging the robustness and efficiency of rank-based methods. These methods are particularly valuable in the behavioral sciences due to their ordinal nature and resilience to outliers. Additionally, Prof. De Neve's work includes a strong emphasis on modeling latent variables, which are crucial for understanding underlying constructs in psychological and educational research.
