Ph.D. student Caitrin Murphy is the winner of the first place student paper award in the American Statistical Association’s Medical Devices and Diagnostics Section for her work “Functional Principal Component Analysis for Censored Data” in collaboration with James B. Duke Distinguished Professor of Statistical Science Eric Laber and collaborators Rhonda Merwin, Brian Reich and Jake Koerner.
The objective of the Section on Medical Devices and Diagnostics (MDD) is to serve Association members with special interests in the application and appropriate use of statistics to the design, development, evaluation, quality control and use of medical devices and diagnostic tests in humans and animals, where a simple definition of a medical device is any medical product that does not work solely by chemical or biological means.
Murphy will present her work at the Joint Statistical Meetings in August. Congratulations, Caitrin!
