The team develops new models and statistical methods for data from epidemiological studies and clinical trials, with a strong emphasis on cohort data analysis.
Objectives
The Biostatistics team develops statistical methods for the analysis of data from epidemiological studies or clinical trials. The major area of research focuses on dynamic models, i.e. all the models to take into account the temporal dimension of events and processes. Some works have a strong theoretical dimension but they are all motivated by applications for natural history, risk factors, diagnosis or prognosis of chronic diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease, AIDS, cancer or disease chronic kidney and by the assessment of the impact of these diseases for Public Health. Software that implements these methods are regularly made available to the scientific community via Internet. To support its activities recruitments are planned.
Research area
Multivariate models for time-dependent data
- Joint models for longitudinal markers and multiple events
- Latent process models
- Multi-state models
- Modeling of protracted exposure in case-control studies
- Evaluation of model assumptions and predictive ability
Model-based estimation of Public Health indicators
- Projection of dementia burden and impact of intervention
- Estimation of HIV infection from several sources of data
