Research Interests

Graphical Modelling: properties of tests for edge exclusion model selection chain graphs applications in demography and medicine. Exact Inference: using direct Monte Carlo methods using Markov chain Monte Carlo methods for generalised linear models for models for social networks. Methods for Handling Non-response: contingency tables with missing data non-ignorable non-response Bayesian methods. Models for Longitudinal Data: multivariate binary responses association/marginal models.
