Biography: An-Lin Cheng, PhD, is an Assistant Professor. Her primary research interests involve statistical methodology development in the design and analysis of data for clinical trial studies. One specific area of her research is applying the multilevel hierarchical random effect models to cluster data with repeatedly measured categorical and continuous outcomes for community-intervention trials. She also develops robust inference for first and secondary variables analyses for data resulting from response adaptive design.
