Christian Kleiber is Professor of Econometrics and Statistics at the University of Basel. Having trained as a statistician in Germany and the UK, he obtained his PhD in Statistics from the Technical University of Dortmund. He joined the University of Basel in 2006. 

His research interests include heavy-tailed phenomena in economics and related fields, income distribution and inequality measurement, statistical distributions, stochastic orders and their applications, statistical foundations of data science, regression models for count data, and time series analysis. He also maintains an interest in econometric and statistical computing, including computational reproducibility, and in the history of statistics and econometrics.

Selected Publications

I am a coauthor of the following R packages (Licensed by CC-BY-SA 4.0):

  • A new project: package "countreg" aims at providing tools for count data regression. This is still under development, hence not yet available via CRAN. The package contains, among other things, the fitting functions for hurdle and zero-inflation models that have been available via the "pscl" package before. Current (installable!) versions are available from the R-Forge development server at R-Forge.R-project.org/projects/countreg/.
  • "AER: Applied Econometrics with R" Functions, data sets, examples and vignettes for the book Applied Econometrics with R, Springer 2008 (with Achim Zeileis).
    Available at CRAN.R-project.org/package=AER (first release: 2008-05-28).
  • "strucchange: An R package for testing, dating and monitoring of structural change in linear regression relationships" (with Achim Zeileis, Friedrich Leisch, Kurt Hornik).
    Available at CRAN.R-project.org/package=strucchange (first release: 2001-05-17).
