CVI Research Description:
Benjamin French is an Assistant Professor of Biostatistics. His primary research interests include statistical methods for the analysis of aggregate longitudinal data in which cluster size is a non-stochastic process, in relation to evaluating a policy change, analyzing recurrent marked point process data, and estimating a volume-outcome association. His collaborative projects include applications to cardiovascular disease research, health services research, and pharmacoepidemiology.
