Our research involves advancing quantitative methods for collecting, analyzing, understanding, and interpreting data. We focus on addressing methodological issues in current research; improving new techniques; finding innovative ways of combining different methods; and new applications of traditional methods.

Recent developments in statistical methods have opened up new ways of accessing quality information for the world of social policy and intervention. We apply the modern design and analysis techniques to sophisticated multivariate data sets to study topics of substantive interest in prevention, intervention, and other behavioral, social and health sciences.
