Nikhil Addleman
Applied mathematics, data science, machine learning. Always looking for new puzzles.
I just finished my PhD at the Institute for Mathematical Behavioral Sciences at UC Irvine. My research focuses on two domains, mathematical models in evolutionary game theory and statistical work in the social sciences. Please find my CV or my resume.
Here you will find my writings on
- Mathematical (esp. evolutionary, dynamical) models
- Statistics and machine learning
- Game theory
- And assorted other topics
Check out my latest essay: Generalized additive models and backfitting
