Matthew Kowgier
Ph.D. Student
Research interests:
My current research interests are in cost-effectiveness analysis
for clinical trials,including, sample size estimation through a
decision theoretic approach; and Bayesian methods for latent class
analysis. I am also interested in data mining methods, particularly,
unsupervised learning techniques, and the statistical analysis of
DNA microarrays.
Degrees:
• M.Sc. Biostatistics. University of Toronto, 2005
• B.A. Statistics. York University, 2004

Sophia Lee
Sophia Lee is a PhD candidate in the Biostatistics Program at
University of Toronto’s Department of Public Health Sciences.
She is currently under the supervision of Drs. Shelley Bull and
Lei Sun. The focus of her thesis concerns the development of a statistical
methodology using a random forest of weighted trees to identify
complex disease genes in quantitative trait linkage analysis. Her
other research interests include multinomial logistic regression
with sparse data and data mining methods. Sophia Lee received her
BSc, BEd, and MA from York University. She presently holds a Natural
Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC) doctoral fellowship.

Lucia Mirea
Lucia Mirea is a PhD student in Biostatistics, Department of Public
Health Sciences, University of Toronto, working under the supervision
of Dr. James Stafford and Dr. Shelley Bull. Her thesis research is
to develop statistical methods for family-based genetic association
analyses using longitudinal trait measurements that consider the interplay
between genetic and environmental factors through time. Additional
research interests include design approaches (one, two or multi-stage)
and analytic strategies (single SNPs, haplotypes, multiple testing)
for genome-wide genetic association studies. Lucia Mirea received
her BSc., BEd from Queen's University, MSc from University of Toronto
and presently holds a Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR)
Doctoral Research Award. |
Hadas Moshonov
Hadas Moshonov is a PhD candidate in the department of Statistics
at the University of Toronto. She received her B.A in statistics from
University of Haifa in Israel. Her PhD thesis research is about model
checking and methods for assessing model adequacy with main focus
on Bayesian models. |
Wei Wu
Master Student in the Biostatistics Program at Department of Public
Health Sciences, University of Toronto. Research interests: clinical
