Position
- University Professor
Department
- Statistics
Research Description
Develops and evaluates statistical methods to answer interesting biological questions. A lot of this work is collaborative. The themes are using likelihood inference in non-standard situations and using computer-intensive methods.
Bioinformatics Areas
Mathematical Biology, Computational Modeling, and Metabolic and Developmental Networking-- Modeling virus sequence evolution and immune system response, ecological and environmental statistics
Consulting
I am available to help ISU faculty and students with:
design of experiments or observational studies
choice of statistical methods
statistical computing
interpretation of output from statistical computing packages
I have a broad background in statistical methods and a specific expertise in:
analyses to demonstrate equivalence
ecological statistics
analysis of species composition data
population size estimation
analysis of spatial patterns
environmental statistics
analysis of censored data, especially below-detection limit values
analysis of environmental trends
computer-intensive analysis
bootstrapping
randomization tests
