Principal investigator: Kai Fun Yu, Ph.D.
This project investigates theory, methods, and applications of statistics and probability with current emphasis on longitudinal data analysis.
The major motivating examples for applications are the following two NICHD studies:
- Successive Small-for-Gestational Age Study in Alabama and Scandinavia
- Longitudinal Study of Vaginal Flora
