The Department of Biostatistics maintains a balance between statistical theory and its application to real-world problems. An important part of student training is interaction with faculty on research projects. The following are examples of student research topics:
- Evaluation of Lung Cancer Risk in Relation to Acrylonitrile Exposure with Control for Potential Confounding by Smoking via Monte Carlo Simulation
- Evaluation of Non-Response in a Case-Control Study of Brain Cancer among Jet Engine Manufacturing Workers
- Inference on Conditional Quantile Residual Life Functions
- Inference on Quantile Residual Life Function for Length-Biased Sample
- Review and Comparison of Statistical Methods for Analyzing Data Sets Containing Variables With Detection Limits
- Statistical Inference Based on Functional Depths under Competing Risks
- A Stochastic EM Algorithm for G-Rho Family Accelerated Failure Time Model with Random Effects
