Robert D. Gibbons is a professor in the field of statistics,with expertise in biostatistics,environmental statistics,and psychometrics. [1] He holds the position of Blum-Riese Professor and Pritzker Scholar at the University of Chicago,with appointments in the Departments of Medicine, [2] Public Health Sciences (Biostatistics), [3] and Comparative Human Development. [4] Gibbons is a Fellow of the American Statistical Association,the International Statistical Institute,and the Royal Statistical Society,and a member of the National Academy of Medicine of the National Academy of Sciences. He has made contributions to statistical work spanning areas such as longitudinal data analysis,item response theory,environmental statistics,and drug safety,with over 350 peer-reviewed scientific papers [5] and several books [6] [7] [8] [9] to his name.
Biostatistics is a branch of statistics that applies statistical methods to a wide range of topics in biology. It encompasses the design of biological experiments,the collection and analysis of data from those experiments and the interpretation of the results.
Chemometrics is the science of extracting information from chemical systems by data-driven means. Chemometrics is inherently interdisciplinary,using methods frequently employed in core data-analytic disciplines such as multivariate statistics,applied mathematics,and computer science,in order to address problems in chemistry,biochemistry,medicine,biology and chemical engineering. In this way,it mirrors other interdisciplinary fields,such as psychometrics and econometrics.
Robert Anthony Pape is an American political scientist who studies national and international security affairs,with a focus on air power,American and international political violence,social media propaganda,and terrorism. He is currently a professor of political science at the University of Chicago and founder and director of the Chicago Project on Security and Threats (CPOST).
Quantitative psychology is a field of scientific study that focuses on the mathematical modeling,research design and methodology,and statistical analysis of psychological processes. It includes tests and other devices for measuring cognitive abilities. Quantitative psychologists develop and analyze a wide variety of research methods,including those of psychometrics,a field concerned with the theory and technique of psychological measurement.
