RESEARCH INTERESTS:
I am a statistician working between The Infant Mortality and Morbidity Studies group and the Research Design Service. My main interests are in:
- Statistical methods for comparison of healthcare providers
- Design of observational studies
- Developing and validating prediction models for survival
- Methods for monitoring of rare events
- Predicting length of stay in neonatal care
