We have expertise in design and analysis of clinical trials, behavioral interventions, cohort studies, and biomarker studies, including such areas as longitudinal models, “big data” and high dimensional analyses, image analysis, and survey statistics
Co-chaired by Tuo Lin and Anubhav Singh Sachan, the Seminar Series is an opportunity for Biostatistics Program graduate students to highlight their current research activities.
Florin Vaida, PhD cited in study demonstrating that an optical tool in smartphones is effective at assessing blood-oxygen levels.
The fellowship is a 12-month appointment with supervising professor, Steve Edland, PhD.
Biostatistics and Bioinformatics offers two graduate degrees: a Master of Science and a PhD. Undergraduate students also have the opportunity to specialize in Biostatistics as a Public Health major.
Biostatistics graduate student Junting Ren has a first-authored paper accepted by Statistics in Medicine, entitled "A Semi-parametric Bayesian model for semi-continuous longitudinal data". Congratulations Junting!
Biostatistics graduate student Kristen Hansen has published a paper describing a method to estimate how a mountain glacier goes down a mountain, as a step toward quantifying mountain glacier retreat as indication of climate change.
Our research interests include clinical trials methods, survival analysis, prognostic modeling, longitudinal data analysis, imaging, statistical genetics, semi-parametric and non-parametric statistics, computational statistics, Bayesian statistics, machine learning, and computational biology.
"Biostatistical methods for wearable devices with applications to NHANES and UK Biobank"
"Robust functional principal components analysis with application to accelerometry data"
Faculty and students in Biostatistics & Bioinformatics encourage involvement with the American Statistical Association. Visit the This is Statistics webpage for more information on this exciting field!
