Division of Biostatistics

Brief sketch I earned an MS and a PhD in Statistics from Cornell University, and a BA in Mathematics and German Language and Literature from Washington University in St. Louis. My area of expertise is methods for and applications to correlated data. I am heavily involved in collaborative research with other faculty in the School of Public Health, the Medical School, and the College of Biological Sciences who have either longitudinally collected repeated measures or cluster correlated data. My statistical research has recently expanded into the area of methods for imaging data (NMR spectroscopy, MRI, MEG, etc.). My recent collaborative research has been in cancer, cardiovascular disease, geriatric pharmacoepidemiology, environmental health, and ecology/wildlife biology. My collaborative work allows me to learn about wide ranging areas of science, which is what drew me to statistics many years ago. I am Director of the Multiple Risk Factor Intervention Trial (MRFIT) Coordinating Center, a member of the University of Minnesota Masonic Cancer Center, and I collaborate extensively with members of the Center for Magnetic Resonance Research.

Teaching In Fall 2008 and in Spring 2009, I will teach the course Biostatistics I, PubH 6450. This is an introductory course, covering descriptive statistics, Gaussian (normal) data models, point/interval estimation for means and proportions, hypothesis testing (including t, chi-square, and nonparametric tests), simple regression/correlation analysis, and ANOVA. We focus on health science applications, producing and using output from the statistical package SAS. Most students in this class are MPH or MS students in other health sciences fields.
