Statistician Resume Example

Statistician with areas of competence in statistical modeling, design of experiments (DoE), tests of hypothesis, simulation techniques and quality control tools. Experience in the application of statistics in vaccine development and production. Skilled in SAS and R programming. Exceptional communicator who works well on diverse teams. 

• Since 2014 up to present, serve as the sole statistician in providing data analysis, statistical plans, experimental designs and any ad hoc statistics support to all departments of GSK Vaccines R&D (formerly with Novartis Vaccines TD) in the US.  
• Wrote SAS and R programs for automation of statistical analysis which increased department's productivity.
• Provided statistical analyses earlier than expected which helped delayed projects get back on time. 
• Supported various investigations by providing statistical analysis which is key in decision-making.

Variable Selection in Sparse Ultra-high Dimensional Additive Models

Keywords: nonlinear modeling, high dimensional data, machine learning

Developed a multi-step non-parametric model selection algorithm to select variables in sparse ultra-high dimensional additive models. The algorithm can be used with continuous or discrete response variable, and when the predictors are linearly or nonlinearly related to the response. Simulation results demonstrate that this algorithm is competitive in terms of true and false selection rates and prediction mean squared errors (PMSE). In addition, this algorithm is also used to analyze high throughput data such as genome wide association data.
