Biostatistics Seminar: Bounds and Estimators for the Risk Function

Stephen R. Cole, PhD, professor of epidemiology at the Gillings School, will present a talk on, “Bounds and Estimators for the Risk Function.” Dr. Cole works to build accurate and impactful knowledge, particularly population-health (epidemiologic) knowledge. He is interested in study designs and analyses that accurately estimate parameters of central interest to population-health scientists, such as risk. These study designs include randomized experiments, pseudoexperiments (i.e., observational studies) and thought-experiments (e.g., simulation studies).
