DOI: 10.1080/03610926.2015.1076474
Abstract: ABSTRACT We address statistical issues involved in the partially clustered design where clusters are only employed in the intervention arm, but not in the control arm. We develop a cluster adjusted t-test to compare group… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/03610926.2025.2479650
Abstract: Abstract This article reexamines zero-inflated count and semi-continuous models for analyzing data exhibiting an excess of zeros. Most of these models seem to share a common structure belonging to the exponential dispersion family (EDF) of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/biom.13877
Abstract: Epidemiologists are often interested in estimating the effect of functions of time-varying exposure histories in relation to continuous outcomes, for example, cognitive function. However, the individual exposure measurements that constitute the history upon which an… read more here.
