Statistical Methods in Evaluation of Multidimensional Symptoms in Nursing Research

Since completing advanced degrees in statistics and epidemiology, I have participated in nursing research at Yale School of Nursing (YSN) by providing statistical support for grants. While analyzing data from diverse subjects with cancer, diabetes, sleep disorders, cardiac disease, autism, and other health conditions, I have encountered common statistical problems with inter-correlated multidimensional outcomes in longitudinal observations. One of my primary research interests is to find analytic methods to overcome statistical problems in symptom evaluation.
