Poorva Kemse
@poorvakemse
Data Scientist building Bayesian state-space and mixture-regime models for structural signal extraction and tail-risk forecasting.
What I'm looking for
I build Bayesian systems that turn noisy, non-stationary signals into interpretable structure—starting with a Global Coffee Demand Forecast 2026 using a Bayesian NDLM in R, tuned via discounting to reduce out-of-sample RMSE (7.77) for stockout risk mitigation.
Most recently, I’m running a NorCal seismic reliability audit (ETAS + Bayesian state-space) and engineering a Gamma-Exponential-Lomax mixture to separate seismic regimes and quantify mechanical energy loss, using MCMC to keep the model’s integrity under heavy-tailed uncertainty.
