dzerom@fullerton.edu Forecasting • Decision Analytics • Statistics • Econometrics My current classes center on managerial decision-making, training students to turn data into actionable insight. I prioritize analytical thinking over tool mastery. I integrate modern generative-AI aids (e.g., GitHub Copilot) and custom ChatGPT modules. Example of an interactive Chapter for one of my courses looks like: Chapter 2: Forecast Errors. Further, some of my graduate students have successfully participated in Kaggle data science competitions.
I conduct both methodological and inter-disciplinary research. My research results have appeared in such outlets as JASA, Management Science, Review of Economic Studies, Journal of Non-Parametric Statistics and Operations Research Letters. According to Google Scholar, my research papers have been cited an average of 180 times each year since 2020.
