Team members
doc. Mgr. Veronika Blašková, Ph.D.
Veronika Blašková focuses on the applications of statistics and econometric modelling. Her research and teaching focus on the evaluation of sample surveys. The main topics are related to the use of methods for processing questionnaire surveys.
RNDr. Marie Forbelská, Ph.D.
Marie Forbelská is an academic specializing in stochastic and econometric modelling. Her research and teaching focus on discrete-time and continuous-time stochastic models and their practical applications, particularly in reliability prediction. She is also active in the field of econometric modelling, where she explores methods for analyzing and forecasting economic phenomena.
doc. Mgr. David Hampel, Ph.D.
David Hampel focuses on the applications of probability and statistics, specifically in bioeconomic modelling, planning and evaluating experiments and operational data, risk analysis, and decision-making under uncertainty. He publishes his work in high-quality journals and is cited relatively frequently. He collaborates with experts from various fields and supervises doctoral students.
Mgr. Ing. Markéta Matulová, Ph.D.
Markéta Matulová specializes in efficiency analysis and dynamic modelling. Her current research focuses on the application and advancement of data envelopment analysis (DEA) models, particularly in the context of evaluating performance across varios sectors. She is also interested in the development of methods that help to capture multidimensional aspects of performance evaluation.
doc. Ing. Luboš Střelec, Ph.D.
His research primarily focuses on verifying the assumption of normal distributions of random variables in the analysis of economic big data, with particular emphasis on the influence of outliers on the outcomes of normality tests. Currently, he is developing a robust descriptor-based neural network designed to train a high-accuracy network capable of correctly assessing the normality of distributions with outliers or light-tailed alternative distributions that closely resemble normal data, where traditional normality tests may fail. In addition, his research interests include volatility modelling in financial markets and the problem of quantitative efficiency evaluation.
RNDr. Lenka Viskotová, Ph.D.
Lenka Viskotová focuses on the mathematical aspects of statistical modelling and large-scale calculations in the field of classification and simulation, often with interdisciplinary overlap. Her research interests include topics in environmental economics, minimum wage issues, and the effectiveness of teaching quantitative subjects in tertiary education.
