British Academy/Leverhulme Small Research Grant to Dr Diego Andr茅s P茅rez Ruiz & Professor Arkadiusz Wisniowski
Dr Diego Andr茅s P茅rez Ruiz has been awarded a British Academy/Leverhulme Small Research Grant for a new project focusing on methodological work on Bayesian approaches to combining survey data.
The Department of Social Statistics is pleased to share that Dr Diego Andr茅s P茅rez Ruiz has been awarded a British Academy/Leverhulme Small Research Grant for a project entitled Bayesian Integration of Probability and Non-Probability Samples via Entropy-Based Stopping Rules. Professor Arkadiusz Wisniowski is a co-applicant. This funding will support ongoing methodological work on Bayesian approaches to combining survey data sources, to strengthen the robustness, efficiency, and practical usability of data integration techniques in applied social research.
The project will advance current statistical methods for survey inference, enabling more profound exploration of entropy-based diagnostics, improved modelling strategies, and the development of accessible tools for analysts working with complex multi-source datasets. The award also facilitates collaboration with colleagues across institutions and will lead to a series of academic outputs and practitioner-focused guidance materials.
Overall, this grant represents a significant opportunity to advance methodological innovation in the field and support more reliable, evidence-based decision-making in the social sciences.
