Autorenporträt

Alexander R. de Leon is Associate Professor in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of Calgary. Originally from the Philippines, he obtained his BSc and MSc, both in Statistics, from the School of Statistics of the University of the Philippines. After a research studentship at Tokyo University of Science, he completed his PhD in Statistics in 2002 at the University of Alberta. His research interests include methods for analyzing correlated data, multivariate models and distances for mixed discrete and continuous outcomes, pseudo- and composite likelihood methods, copula modeling, assessment of diagnostic tests, statistical quality control, and statistical problems in medicine, particularly in ophthalmology. Alex can be reached at [e-mail]. Keumhee Carriere Chough is Professor of Statistics in the Department of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences at the University of Alberta. After completing her BSc in Agriculture from Seoul National University, in Seoul, Korea, she earned her MSc from the University of Manitoba, and her PhD in Statistics from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1989. Since 1996, she has been with the Department of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences, University of Alberta, after stints as Assistant Professor at the University of Iowa (1990-1992) and University of Manitoba (1992-1996). She was also the Director of the Statistics Consulting Center at the University of Iowa (1990-1992). Her research interests include design and analysis for repeated measures data, missing data methods, high dimensional data analysis methods, multivariate methods, designs for clinical trials, item response data, variable selection methods, and survival analysis. As well, she specializes in such biostatistical methods as small area variation analysis techniques with applications to health care utilization.
