About
Albert Satorra is a distinguished academic and Professor Emeritus of Statistics at Pompeu Fabra University (UPF) in Barcelona. His research primarily focuses on the application of statistics in behavioral and social sciences, with a particular emphasis on structural equation models (SEMs). These models, which involve latent variables and simultaneous equations, are a cornerstone of his work, and he has contributed significantly to this field through numerous publications in leading journals.
Satorra's academic journey began with a strong foundation in mathematics and statistics, which later led him to psychometrics. His passion for improving methods of model evaluation and ensuring robust inferences in SEMs has driven much of his career. He has also been associated with esteemed institutions such as the Barcelona School of Economics, BI Norwegian Business School, and the University of Barcelona.
His work spans various subject categories, including mathematics, psychological methods, and social sciences, as well as business and economics. Satorra's contributions have not only advanced statistical methodologies but also enriched interdisciplinary research, making him a prominent figure in his field.
