Einar Holsbø

I am a researcher/teacher/opinion haver. Formally this is called an academic. I am currently an Associate Professor at the University of Tromsø, affiliated with CANS and HDL. During my PhD I focussed on some practical problems of predictive models for -omic data, particularly transcriptomics. I am interested in statistics, the Reverend Bayes, causal inference, computer science, mathematics, etc.

Writing

Apart from listing my research and similar I use this site to publish little notes and other writing. It’s disorganized. Take a look at the notes or possibly the Bits of String (202508181349).

Here are some perhaps more coherent things:

• (202502271941) Making a heap is $O(N)$.
• (202405281202) PCA is OK (or the Davis-Kahan $\sin \theta$ theorem)
• (202403071104) AI-generated illustrations are bad, actually.
• (202401171334) Handful of blog posts from the Technical University of Denmark.
• (202312132213) List of books I read.
• (202312131102) On rebuilding this site from scratch to be more web 1.0.
