About Me - Statistically Significant
http://andland.github.io/about
I am a research statistician at Battelle. I received my PhD in Statistics. From Ohio State, working with Prof. Yoonkyung Lee. I am interested in machine learning applications in statistics. My dissertation dealt with dimensionality reduction, matrix factorization, and classification with large binary and count datasets. In the past, I worked as a graduate research associate for the Campus Transit Lab. In the Department of Civil, Environmental and Geodetic Engineering with Prof. Prem Goel.

My Projects - Statistically Significant
http://andland.github.io/projects
Logistic PCA and Generalized PCA. Research with Prof. Yoonkyung Lee. Deals with dimensionality reduction of binary and count data. We propose a generalization of principal component analysis to non-Gaussian data. Our method minimizes the deviance by solving for a projection matrix which projects the natural parameters of the saturated model onto a lower dimensional space. Two preprint articles are available here. An R package implementing this research for binary data is available on CRAN. Our team worke...

Blog of Joseph T. Walsh. We wrote about what a good Data Science for Social Good. Project looks like. Our post begins:. Data Science for Social Good is a summer program that requires year-round preparation. A successful summer requires a mix of good people and projects, and we spend a lot of time trying to find projects to solve and the people to solve them. In addition to reading over 800 applications. Criminal Justice and n Guilty Men. But few would argue that North Korea's. Is often difficult. The...
