About How
Dr. Lee How Chinh is a Senior Lecturer (Practice) in the Malaysia School of Business at Monash University, specializing in quantitative research that integrates advanced statistical modelling, machine learning, and econometrics to address challenges in finance, economics, and business analytics. His work emphasizes robust and interpretable methods for high-dimensional and heterogeneous data, developing data-driven frameworks that provide actionable insights for industry and public-sector decision-making in areas such as financial risk assessment, market behavior analysis, and evidence-based policy formulation. He holds a Doctor of Philosophy in Statistical Quality Control from Universiti Sains Malaysia, awarded in 2017 for his thesis on new univariate synthetic double sampling X-bar and multivariate synthetic double sampling T^2 control charts; a Master of Applied Statistics from Universiti Putra Malaysia in 2008 on robust least median squares latent root regression; a Master of Science in Dynamical Systems Theory from Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia in 2006 analyzing Lorenz-like models for Marangoni convection; and a Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Mathematical Sciences in 2001. As an HRD Corp certified trainer and SAS accredited trainer since 2015, he delivers specialized workshops on applied econometrics, machine learning for business analytics, SAS programming, model validation, and data-driven decision frameworks to agencies, companies, and financial institutions.
