Anna L. Smith
Assistant Professor of Statistics

 

I am interested in the geometry of network data, (posterior) predictive model checking, and collaborating with experts outside of statistics to study complex social and behavioral phenomena. My recent work also includes Bayesian hierarchical modeling, latent variable approaches, and applications in behavioral health and substance use research. My research strengthens our intuition for dealing with complex data and models, and I enjoy creating impactful visualizations.

For more details about my research, check out my personal website.
