Daniel Zelterman PhD

Professor of Public Health (Biostatistics)

Research Interests

Applied statistics

Research Summary

Professor Zelterman's research interests are centered in applied statistics. He is the Director of the Biostatistics Core at the Yale Cancer Center and is Co-Director of the Methodology and Biostatistics Core of the Center for Interdisciplinary Research in AIDS (CIRA). His research covers survival analysis, modeling of cancer mechanisms, and discrete distributions. His interests in cancer epidemiology and genetics have brought him to examine the analysis of pedigrees, familial clusters of disease, and similar computationally intensive statistical methods. He is the author of five books on the analysis of statistical data and associate editor of five scientific journals. He is an elected fellow of the American Statistical Association.
