Alan Agresti, Visiting Professor of Biostatistics, Department of Biostatistics
Agresti's primary research interests are in categorical data analysis.
Research topics in recent years include small-sample confidence
intervals for binomial proportions and odds ratios, and models for
repeated categorical responses. Other areas of interest include
generalized linear models, longitudinal data analysis, social
statistics, biostatistics, and statistical education -- particularly
service courses and the presentation of statistical ideas to
nonstatisticians.
