Research Interests
My research is in statistics and their applications to medicine and biology. Many efforts have concerned tree-structured algorithms for classification, regression, survival analysis, and clustering. Those for classification have been used with success in computer-aided diagnosis and prognosis and for studies of complex human disease by association with single nucleotide polymorphisms and other predictors. Those for clustering have been applied to lossy data compression in digital radiography. Modeling and sample reuse methods have been developed for longitudinal data, concerning gait analysis; renal physiology; cholesterol; and molecular genetics.
