Course LeaderThe course is led by Dr. Isabella Ghement. Isabella obtained her Ph.D. in Statistics from the University of British Columbia (UBC) in 2005. Isabella has presented numerous public and private workshops/courses on the statistical software package R to researchers, graduate students, government agencies and corporations in Canada. She also lectured part-time on advanced statistics at the Sauder School of Business, UBC between 2005 and 2012. Isabella is actively engaged in statistical consulting through her company Ghement Statistical Consulting Company Ltd. Her statistical consulting clients include federal and provincial government agencies, contract research organizations and academic researchers. Isabella co-authored the following publications based on her Ph.D. work on nonparametric regression: "Seasonal Confounding and Residual Correlation in Analyses of Health Effects of Air Pollution" (Environmetrics. 2007; 18(4): 375-394) and "Robust estimation of error scale in nonparametric regression models" (Journal of Statistical Planning and Inference. 2008; 138(10): 3200-3216). Most recently, Isabella has acquired statistical expertise in the field of mixed treatment comparisons, a generalization of meta-analytic methods allowing for the comparison of multiple medical interventions with respect to their efficacy and safety. In this field, Isabella has co-authored publications such as "Incorporating multiple interventions in meta-analysis: an evaluation of the mixed treatment comparison with the adjusted indirect comparison" (Trials 2009, 10:86 doi:10.1186/1745-6215-10-86), "Estimating the Power of Indirect Comparisons: A Simulation Study" (PLoS ONE 6(1): e16237. doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0016237) and "Multiple treatment comparison meta-analyses: a step forward into complexity" (Clinical Epidemiology. 2011; 3: 193-202).
