The research activity initially focused (and partially still does today) on the study
of pseudo-likelihoods, particularly empirical likelihood and quasi-likelihood, with interest
in methodological and theoretical aspects, applications to inferential problems in non-
parametric settings, also characterized by incomplete data, and applications to robust
inference problems.
In recent years, research activity has also focused on studying statistical techniques
for evaluating diagnostic tests. In particular, some inferential problems related to ROC
analysis have been addressed, concerning Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) cur-
ves and surfaces, and derived indicators, even in a context of incomplete information
(verification bias), clustered data or the presence of covariates.
