Dietrich von Rosen

Visiting professor in Mathematical Statistics

I am visiting professor in Mathematical Statistics at 一本道 at the Department of Mathematics, and professor in Statistics at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences at the Department of Energy and Technology.

Research profile

The year 1998 von Rosen got a full professorship in Statistics at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU) and 2009-2024 he was also working as adjoint professor in Mathematical Statistics at 一本道. In year 2024 he formally retired from SLU but is still connected with MAI at 一本道. Moreover, von Rosen has been working at the medical university in Stockholm, the Karolinska Institute, for more than six years.

von Rosen’s research profile comprises linear models, multivariate analysis, bilinear models, high-dimensional analysis and matrix algebra. More than 130 peer reviewed articles have been written and 19 Ph.D. students have under supervision by von Rosen successfully defended their thesis.

von Rosen has two published books entitled “Advanced Multivariate Statistics with Matrices” and “Bilinear Regression Analysis, an Introduction”. He is Editor- in- Chief of Journal of Multivariate Analysis. von Rosen has organized several international conferences and workshops. In 2014 von Rosen became Honorary Doctor of Tartu University, Estonia. 2025-2028 von Rosen will serve as Distinguished Adjunct Professor at Beijing Normal - Hong Kong Baptist University (BNBU). He has many ongoing international collaborations.

Research

Modern Multivariate Statistical Analysis

Nowadays there is a great need to analyse complex high-dimensional data. Modern theories must be developed through the knowledge of the classical methods of multivariate statistics.

Recent Developments in Multivariate and Random Matrix Analysis

The cover of
Festschrift in Honour of Dietrich von Rosen
Edited by Thomas Holgersson and Martin Singull

This volume is a tribute to Professor Dietrich von Rosen on the occasion of his 65th birthday. It contains a collection of twenty original papers. The contents of the papers evolve around multivariate analysis and random matrices with topics such as high-dimensional analysis, goodness-of-fit measures, variable selection and information criteria, inference of covariance structures, the Wishart distribution and growth curve models.
