He is a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the American Statistical Association, and the Institute of Mathematical Statistics; an elected member of the International Statistical Institute; and a Yangtze River Scholar (Chaired Professor, 2017-2020).

Thuan Nguyen is Associate Professor of Biostatistics in the School of Public Health at Oregon Health & Science University, where she teaches and advises graduate students. She is an active researcher in the field of biostatistics, specializing in the analysis of longitudinal data and statistical genetics, as well as small area estimation. She is the coauthor of The Fence Methods (with J. Jiang 2016).

Klappentext

This book covers two major classes of mixed effects models, linear mixed models and generalized linear mixed models. It presents an up-to-date account of theory and methods in analysis of these models as well as their applications in various fields. The book offers a systematic approach to inference about non-Gaussian linear mixed models. Furthermore, it includes recently developed methods, such as mixed model diagnostics, mixed model selection, and jackknife method in the context of mixed models. The book is aimed at students, researchers and other practitioners who are interested in using mixed models for statistical data analysis.
