About the Department

The Center for Health Statistics (CHS) was established in 2001 by Robert D. Gibbons, Blum-Riese Professor of Biostatistics at the University of Chicago, to provide a statistical research environment that would lead to advances in the design and analysis of investigations in a wide variety of areas in the health sciences. The Center has quickly grown to include a faculty of 32 distinguished members covering statistical expertise in almost all areas of science. Focus has extended to the social, behavioral and physical sciences in addition to problems in our nation\'s health. Key statistical themes in our work include: (a) generalized mixed-effects regression models for the analysis of clustered and longitudinal data; (b) item response theory and adaptive testing for large-scale educational testing and mental health screening and monitoring; (c) environmental statistics, both regulatory and health related; and (d) drug safety. Overall, we are committed to working on statistical features of any interesting scientific problem, and our excellent faculty provide the depth of resources to accomplish this goal.
