Research Description

My research interests are in statistical genetics and development of statistical methods. Software for most of my projects is available on my website. Specific current research interests include:

• methods for haplotype analysis in dependent samples methods for genetic association analysis, including methods for binary, quantitative, longitudinal and X-linked traits
• spectral analysis of population structure and other approaches to unknown population structure, particularly in the context of genetic association analysis
• methods to detect association with copy number variation
• methods for genetic analysis in isolated populations
• relationship inference quasi-likelihood methods,
• problems of incomplete data, and
• applications of random matrix theory in statistical genetics
