Research Interests
Ana's main research focus is on statistical methods for expert assessments and imprecise data represented through fuzzy sets, linking fuzzy data analysis with Hilbert-space-valued random elements. Her work also emphasizes nonparametric statistics, hypothesis testing, and, more recently, topic modelling and text analytics.
