Research Focus

My research focuses on development of statistical methods for estimating diagnostic test accuracy in the absence of a perfect test, both in the context of individual studies and meta-analyses, using Bayesian inference. I am also involved in a number of collaborative projects with researchers in epidemiology and technology assessment.
