Project description
The research interests of Istvan Berkes comprise the following areas. Firstly, he is interested in probability theory, in particular, asymptotic theory of independent, exchangeable, stable and mixing processes, invariance principles and path-wise central limit theory play a role in his research. Moreover, he has several research papers in analysis dealing with random phenomena for lacunary series, discrepancy theory, applications of probability theory in analysis, pseudo-randomness, metric entropy. Besides that he works in mathematical statistics (limit theorems, statistical inference, empirical processes) and econometrics (nonlinear time series, long range dependence).
