My main research interest is the evaluation of Informative Hypotheses. These are hypotheses constructed using (in)equality constraints among the parameters of interest. A simple example is three ordered means, Hi: mu1 > mu2 > mu3. Often informative hypotheses paint a more realistic picture of the state of affairs in a population expected by a researcher than the traditional null and alternative hypotheses. If you go to

you arrive at a webpage where the work on informative hypotheses executed in Utrecht is presented.
