Overview
Saeed Heravi is professor of quantitative analysis at Cardiff Business School. He obtained his PhD in Statistics from the University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology (UMIST) in 1986. Since then he has held full-time posts in different universities as Researcher \ Lecturer \ Senior Lecturer and Reader. During this time, he has taught various quantitative courses and his research activities includes applied statistics, time series analysis, forecasting and computing. He has a broad knowledge of statistical modelling techniques, particularly non-linear and non-stationary time series. Prior to joining the Cardiff Business School, he was actively involved in a number of research projects with the University of Manchester and Reading University. These projects include research on the theory and applications of non-linear time series models, data revisions, modelling European industrial production and a series of articles analysing the accuracy of OECD forecasts. In addition, he has worked on a number of new areas, particularly on measuring consumer price index using scanner data. His current research includes forecasting with Singular Spectrum Analysis (SSA), Comparison of performance of various sampling schemes on price index estimation using the TNS dataset, Relation between violence on alcohol prices and Tourism forecasting.
