Research Assistant, Surprised by Junshan Shen, PhD
Project 1: The Application of Linear Mixed Model on Data of Menopause(2015-2016)
- Built a model to determine which of three drugs were effective in treating Menopause
- Applied a linear mixed model and discriminant analysis with R and SAS to compare 3 different drugs
- Advanced missing value imputations process to handle data input/wrangling
- Created a reasonable placebo group to be used in a clinical trial
Project 2: The Cause of Uterine Endometriosis (EM)(2014)
- Built a model to determine which of different diseases are related to endometriosis(EM)
- Implemented variable selection via clustering analysis under various criterions to filter out irrelevant signals in patient test results
- Applied logistic model to establish quantitative relationship between possible causes and EM
