About me

  • I am a docent and associate professor in biostatistics. I have worked as a
    biostatistician in Sweden, Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom,
    including positions in academia and in government.
    I am currently a member of the Management Group for the Swedish eScience
    Research Centre [1] and a co-leader for the eScience for Cancer Prevention
    and Control project [2].
    * 1991, BSc (Hons) in Mathematics and Statistics, University of Auckland
    * 2001, PhD in Biostatistics and Cancer Epidemiology, University of Sydney

Research

  • My main interests are in statistical modelling and simulation for cancer.
    This includes:
    * Methods for survival analysis, including generalised survival models,
    smooth accelerated failure time models and parametric multi-state Markov
    models (http://CRAN.R-project.org/package=rstpm2 [1])
  • see also our
    article in Statistical Methods in Medical Research [2] and Statistics in
    Medicine [3].
    * Microsimulation for cost-effectiveness analysis of prostate cancer testing
    (https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=microsimulation [4],
    https://github.com/mclements/prostata [5]).
    * Methods for paired screen-positive designs
    (https://github.com/mclements/psp [6]).
    * Methods for multi-rater agreement
    (http://CRAN.R-project.org/package=magree [7]).
