Ying Guo
Ying Guo is a Chinese biostatistics, biostatistician specializing in biomedical imaging, neuroimaging, and high-dimensional data analysis. She is a professor of biostatistics and bioinformatics at Emory University, where she directs the Emory Center for Biomedical Imaging Statistics. Education and career Guo graduated from Renmin University of China in 1998, and earned a master's degree in statistics there in 2000. She completed a Ph.D. biostatistics at Emory University in 2004. Her dissertation, ''Assessing Agreement for Survival Outcomes'', was supervised by Amita Manatunga. After continuing to work at Emory as a research assistant professor, she was given a tenure-track position in 2006. She became acting director of the Center for Biomedical Imaging Statistics in 2014, and director in 2016. She was promoted to full professor at Emory in 2019. At Emory, her regular collaborators include two other female statisticians, Manatunga and Limin Peng. Recognition Guo was president of t ...

Biostatistics
Biostatistics (also known as biometry) are the development and application of 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. History Biostatistics and genetics Biostatistical modeling forms an important part of numerous modern biological theories. Genetics studies, since its beginning, used statistical concepts to understand observed experimental results. Some genetics scientists even contributed with statistical advances with the development of methods and tools. Gregor Mendel started the genetics studies investigating genetics segregation patterns in families of peas and used statistics to explain the collected data. In the early 1900s, after the rediscovery of Mendel's Mendelian inheritance work, there were gaps in understanding between genetics and evolutionary Darwinism. Francis Galton tried to expand Mendel's ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
