Ivana Valentić

I am a research and teaching assistant at the University of Zagreb, Croatia. I organise an informal, online Doctoral Probability Seminar .

My fields of interest are:

I am currently looking for potential PhD candidates. Some topics we might consider:

Convex hull peeling or onion peeling: How would you define a median of a 2-dimensional set of points? Convex hull peeling, or onion peeling, is one method used in the analysis of multivariate datasets. Application of this method on random datasets has attracted considerable attention in the literature, and there has been a focus on the statistical properties of the depth of points independently and uniformly sampled from a bounded convex set. We might consider some more general and realistic settings.
Excursion theory for different models in mathematical population genetics: Can we look at the stochastic process that models a proportion of a population with a certain gene as a set of excursions from a specific value? Does this tell us more about the process itself? How do mutation or natural selection affect these properties?

Master theses I have mentored:

September 2023 Iva Subotičanec: Statistička analiza utjecaja grupnog rada na usvajanje matematičkih sadržaja (with N. Sandrić)
February 2024 Zrinko Franković: Statistička analiza utjecaja primjene tehnologije na učenje geometrije u osnovnoj školi (with N. Sandrić)
July 2024 Laura Horvat: Simulacija Wright-Fisherovih difuzija (with N. Sandrić)
