I co-authored an article in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health entitled “Spatial Heterogeneity in Positional Errors: A Comparison of Two Residential Geocoding Efforts in the Agricultural Health Study”, which is included in the Special Issue Spatial Data Uncertainty in Public Health Research.
Derek Brown, PhD, MS and I received a Trans-Fellowship Research Award from the NCI Division of Cancer Prevention Cancer Prevention Fellowship Program to supplement our 2020 DCEG Informatics Tool Challenge Award.
Derek Brown, PhD, MS and I presented our “Spatial Power” webtool for the NCI Division of Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics January 2021 monthly Geographic Analysis Working Group meeting. Spatial Power is an upcomping webtool to calculate power for spatial statistics.
My third R package is on CRAN named envi. It estimates the ecological niche using presence/absence data and the spatial relative risk function via the sparr package. See the public Github repository for more details.
I presented my abstract entitled “Geographic variation in the oral microbiome of Agricultural Health Study applicators” at the Society for Epidemiologic Reserach 2020 annual meeting held virtually due to the global COVID-19 pandemic.
My second R package is on CRAN named gateR. It estimates clustering of cytometry cells using markers and the spatial relative risk function via the sparr package. See the public Github repository for more details.
I received a DCEG Fellows Award for Research Excellence from the NCI Division of Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics for an abstract entitled “Geographic variation in the oral microbiome of NIH-AARP Diet and Health Study participants.
I presented my abstract entitled “Geographic variation in the oral microbiome of NIH-AARP Diet and Health Study Participants” at the 32nd Annual Conference of the International Society for Environmental Epidemiology held virtually due to the global COVID-19 pandemic.
My first R package is on CRAN named sparrpowR. It provides a statistical power calculation for the spatial relative risk function via the sparr package. See the public Github repository for more details.
I gave an invited talk at the National Cancer Institute entitled “A place for spatial analysis in the Cancer Control Continuum.” The talk was an overview of my work in progress over the past year in the Cancer Prevention Fellowship Program.
