My research centers on statistical methodology and its applications to clinical quality measure development, health policy, and global public health. I work primarily on quality measure aggregation and public reporting, with relevant methodological research in Bayesian factor models and rank-likelihood approaches for rating and comparing dialysis facilities. In the Kidney Epidemiology and Cost Center, I work on methods related to the Dialysis Facility Compare (DFC) Clinical Quality of Care Star Ratings. I am also interested in developing new methods for estimating joint densities for mixed data
