Network meta-analysis (NMA) of antihypertensives typically assumes linear dose-response, missing efficacy plateaus. We extend NMA with fractional polynomial dose-response models, applied to 287 trials (N = 198,432) comparing 23 drugs across 5 classes.

Cancer patients face competing risks of cancer death and CVD. Using semicompeting risks methodology on 347,892 SEER-Medicare patients (2000--2020), we show standard cause-specific hazard regression underestimates 5-year CVD mortality by 28.

Causal mediation analysis seeks to decompose total treatment effects into direct and indirect pathways. In longitudinal settings with time-varying confounders affected by prior treatment, standard mediation methods yield biased estimates.

This paper develops new statistical methodology for two-phase sampling designs for electronic health records reduce bias by 67% compared to convenience samples: validation in 4 cohorts. We propose a Bayesian hierarchical framework that jointly models multiple sources of uncertainty while accounting for complex dependence structures including spatial, temporal, and measurement error components.

This paper develops new statistical methodology for joint modeling of longitudinal biomarkers and time-to-event data improves dynamic predictions by 18% in auc: a comparison across 12 diseases. We propose a Bayesian hierarchical framework that jointly models multiple sources of uncertainty while accounting for complex dependence structures including spatial, temporal, and measurement error components.

This paper develops new statistical methodology for species distribution models with preferential sampling correction increase predicted range sizes by 23%: a global assessment for 500 bird species. We propose a Bayesian hierarchical framework that jointly models multiple sources of uncertainty while accounting for complex dependence structures including spatial, temporal, and measurement error components.

This paper develops new statistical methodology for exposure-response modeling via targeted minimum loss estimation reveals non-monotone dose-toxicity curves in 3 oncology drugs. We propose a Bayesian hierarchical framework that jointly models multiple sources of uncertainty while accounting for complex dependence structures including spatial, temporal, and measurement error components.
