Background
Primary research interest is in the area of methodological development in longitudinal data analysis, including for multivariate longitudinal data (e.g., systolic blood pressure, heart rate, and respiratory rate) that are each followed for individuals over time. Also interested in change point and latent response models for longitudinal data, as well as prediction models, including the consideration of similarity to improve prediction accuracy. Works in a variety of application areas, including intensive care, electronic health records, mobile health, child health, nephrology, cancer, smoking cessation, nutrition, aging, and environmental issues.
