Research interests
Discovering, designing and building statistical models that better population and planet health through:
- Variable selection and feature extraction solutions for large and complex data
- Statistical model building for better and more accurate prediction
- Correlated, clustered and complex data analysis
- Classification and improved prediction methods for multiplatform data
- Development of regularization methods for high-dimensional data
- Resampling-based stability information
- Robust selection and estimation methods including when data contains outliers, errors or some of the information is missing
- Analysis of multi-layered and structured data in bioinformatics, microbiome, organ transplant and neuroscience applications
