Development of innovative statistical methods using Bayesian models, machine learning, and Gaussian process regression to analyze environmental health data, focusing on exposure data, heterogeneity in effects, and joint effects of environmental mixtures, with applications to wildfire air pollution, temperature effects, and pregnancy outcomes.
Description
This project will develop, test and apply new statistical methods to address data analytic challenges in population-based environmental health studies. These methods will help increase the accuracy, reliability and impact of epidemiologic studies, as well as advance our understanding of how chemical and non-chemical environmental exposures affect human health.
