Hi, I tick several boxes in your list as I => have PhD in Statistics => have certificatoin in applicaiton of machine learning algorithms => have long (10+ years) and master level expertise in R => worked as a research scientist for one the largest private fund (with 2B+ investment) which involved developing trading algorithms and implementation of the algorithms in R => have long experience of regression modelling => authored one of the highest cited paper (700+ citation according to google scholar) in the Journal of Statistical Software => published paper on applied predictive modelling using registry data => used most of the modelling/analysis techniques you mentioned except few for real data modelling. My major constraint will be availability as I have full time day job. I cannot spend 25 hours a week. If 10-12h/week at night in my timezone works with you then I could be the right person.

I’ve already worked on a lot of different projects during my Ph.D studies such as: Working on stock network data. (time-series analysis and prediction) Working on predicting popularity of news article. (time-series analysis and prediction) Working on Premise food dataset, analyzing the price volatility of food products. (time-series analysis) Working on network traffic data from Akamai. (time-series analysis) Working on twitter social network. (analyzing the surrounding network of a target group) Please note that all of these projects are done on large scale datasets in which we use methods like Map/Reduce programming or multi-core programming to process the data. In summaries, my skills vary from time-series analysis and predictive analysis to network analysis. I mostly program my projects using Python, Java, R, and Matlab, depending on the requirements of the project.

I have a master IT degree and a PhD degree in Chemical Process Engineering (my thesis was about rule-based knowledge discovery) and more then 10 years of data analysis experience in production technology, pharmaceutical, telecommunication, retail, biotechnological industries and R&D. Classification, regression and clustering were the main statistical models in my previous academic research experience (I developed for example a new compact associative classifier method, and a new model structure selection method for the modelling of dynamical process/systems). I have also many years experience in the field of biostatistics (in clinical studies and academic research too) and in last months I worked in a project to European Space Agency where my task was the design of experiments. My publications are in Google Scholar and in Researchgate. I have six years intensive experience in the using of R, and nowdays I use it in almost every day (It is my favorite analytical and statistical tool). I have also knowledge and experience about parametric tests (e.g. t-test, ANOVA, post-hoc tests for continous data and for categorical data: Chi-squared, Fisher-test) and non-parametric statistics (e.g. Mann-Whitney, Kruskal-Wallis, sign-test, etc.), bootstrap-Monte Carlo simulations, experiment design (sample size determination, arrangement of an experiment, etc.). My weekly availability from now to end of December is about 25 hours/week.
