  Food and Drug Administration Consulting Project

  We proposed a new method combining range regression and skewed-weighted logistic regression to analyze the FDA-HDS 2008

  and 1994 data for the identification of sub-populations of people who are most sensitive to change in food label or nutritional knowledge in terms of taking a single vitamin. The Scobit logistic regression method was used because behaviorally

  decision makers could be most sensitive to explanatory variables at a probability different from 50%. Due to survey bias and random fluctuations

  range regression was used to stratify respondents into groups where the data was first weighted

  and then modeled by scobit regression.

  Our team modeled donation trends based on demographic information and donation history for an organization. In our analysis we imputed missing data

  reduced the dimensions of the data via factor analysis

  used model selection techniques such as stepwise SIC model selection and cross validation to build logistic and regression models to predict one's likeliness to donate and donation amount

  and used a Gaussian finite mixture model to segment the market into distinct and descriptive clusters. The clusters can be used to target donors via marketing. We earned a top prize for our work which was judged on accuracy of the predictions

  explanation of the market segmentation

  and the presentation of the results to non-statisticians.

  BGSU Retention Analysis

  Annually identify and model the trends in BGSU student retention with an emphasis on student involvement. The process involves creating and maintaining a database in SharePoint

  using SQL commands to merge student involvement files with institutional research data

  and identifying the impact of student involvement on retention when certain demographic variables are controlled.

  ● Collaborated with undergraduate students and faculty to construct a function in R\nthat creates a probability density function for normal variance-mean mixtures\n\n● Our program is designed to model normal variance-mean mixtures by minimizing the\nweighted square distance between an empirical density and the theoretical mixture; the\nempirical density is a kernel density estimator\n\n● Summarized research findings and the discoveries were presented at the Joint Mathematics Meeting (2011) in New Orleans
