Research Overview
My research area includes, statistical methodology and applications involving categorical and longitudinal data, classification and clustering, spatio-temporal and survival data analysis and modeling extreme events. My areas of his research applications include Biometry, Bioinformatics, Data mining, Environmetrics, Morphometry, and Population Genetics. My research was supported by various grants from NIH and DOD. My current research includes modeling multiple cancer survival data with cure rate modeling in presence of spatial components with applications in SEER data base from National Cancer Institute. I have also funding from NIH on biomarker identification from genomic sequence data. My present research will be extremely useful for various clinical and translational research.
