چکیده
Taylor’s academic fields of expertise are macroeconomics, monetary economics, and international economics. He is known for his research on the foundations of modern monetary theory and policy, which has been applied by central banks and financialmarket analysts around the world. He has an active interest in public policy. He served as senior economist on the President’s Council of Economic Advisers from 1976 to 1977, as a member of the President’s Council of Economic Advisers from 1989 to 1991. He was also a member of the Congressional Budget Office’s Panel of Economic Advisers from 1995 to 2001. Taylor served as a member of the California Governor’s Council of Economic Advisors from 1996-98 and 2005-10.

Detecting sparse signals in random fields, with an application to brain mapping
Brain mapping data have been modeled as Gaussian random fields, and local increases in mean are detected by local maxima of a random field of test statistics derived from this data. Accurate P-values for local maxima are readily available for isotropic data based on the expected Euler characteristic of the excursion set of the test statistic random field. In this paper we give a simple method f...
متن کاملAdaptive Gaussian Markov Random Fields with Applications in Human Brain Mapping
Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has become the standard technology in human brain mapping. Analyses of the massive spatio–temporal fMRI data sets often focus on parametric or nonparametric modeling of the temporal component, while spatial smoothing is based on Gaussian kernels or random fields. A weakness of Gaussian spatial smoothing is underestimation of activation peaks or blurr...
متن کاملInference Under Convex Cone Alternatives for Correlated Data
This paper develops inferential theory for hypothesis testing under general convex cone alternatives for correlated data. Often, interest lies in detecting order among treatment effects, while simultaneously modeling relationships with regression parameters. Incorporating shape or order restrictions in the modeling framework improves the efficiency of statistical methods. While there exists ext...
متن کاملCombined MEG and fMRI model
An integrated model for magnetoencephalography (MEG) and functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) is proposed. In the proposed model, MEG and fMRI outputs are related to the corresponding aspects of neural activities in a voxel. Post synaptic potentials (PSPs) and action potentials (APs) are two main signals generated by neural activities. In the model, both of MEG and fMRI are related to t...
متن کاملAn explicit link between Gaussian fields and Gaussian Markov random fields: The SPDE approach
Continuously indexed Gaussian fields (GFs) is the most important ingredient in spatial statistical modelling and geostatistics. The specification through the covariance function gives an intuitive interpretation of the field properties. On the computational side, GFs are hampered with the big n problem, since the cost of factorising dense matrices is cubic in the dimension. Although the computa...
