Tomáš Mrkvička

Bio: Prof. Tomáš Mrkvička studied Theory of Probability and Mathematical Statistics at Charles University, Prague. He has worked at the University of South Bohemia in České Budějovice, Czech Republic since 2002. From the beginning, his interest has been in spatial statistics and functional data analysis. He is especially interested in developing new statistical methodologies in those fields. Nowadays, his main research interest is in testing statistical hypotheses, especially with functional test statistics, and he has written several influential papers on this topic. As such, he is a co-author of three R-packages.

• GET – the global envelope testing,
• NTSS - Nonparametric Tests in Spatial Statistics and
• binspp - Bayesian Inference for Neyman-Scott Point Processes.

On the other hand, he is also interested in cooperation with scientists from other fields, where he helps analyze data and suggest new approaches.
