Forschung

Schwerpunkt meiner Forschung ist zum einen die Umfragemethodik (Survey Methodology), insbesondere die Qualität von Survey-Daten, Nonresponse und Nonresponse Bias sowie Messfehler. Der zweite Schwerpunkt ist die (Umfrage-) Statistik, aktuell vor allem Methoden des kausalen machinellen Lernens und ihre Anwendung zur Verbesserung der Qualität von Umfragen.
