Nussbaum
Professor
Mathematics

Michael Nussbaum is a professor of mathematics. His research program focuses on asymptotic methods in quantum statistics, in particular on hypothesis testing and discrimination between states of quantum systems. Further topics are the equivalence theory of statistical experiments, asymptotic inference in locally stationary time series and adaptive nonparametric hypothesis testing.
