For more details on me, you can see my CV as of fall 2010 by clicking here:  CV

I am interested in using statistical methods to help scientists address questions fundamental to their understanding of processes.
I usually work on data that are correlated in some fashion or another, spatially, temporally, or both.
I am currently working on applications in the Geosciences, Ecology, Neuroscience, Climate Change, Mathematics Eduction, Fisheries, and Road Ecology.
I am most interested in applications that involve high sampling frequency that will naturally fit into functional data analysis methods.
I am also investigating model selection methods using cross validation based criteria, especially as they relate to nonlinear and/ or dynamic models.
Much of my research comes from collaborative research and I am always open to talk about new collaborations.

I am now blogging at the unimaginatively titled "Mark Greenwood's Blog"

Nonlinear regression methods for U and V shaped valley profiles using Matlab website 

I've moved this research into R, but it had some useful code for fitting nonlinear regression models in Matlab.

I am the department's Actuarial Science Advisor. The best website for info about that is beanactuary.org
	
Feel free to contact me or drop by for more information on Actuarial Science and for coursework recommendations at MSU.
