My main research focus is on design and analysis of complex surveys. My broader interests also cover semiparametric and nonparametric methods, including empirical likelihood methods, resampling techniques, imputation for missing data, pretest-posttest study designs and causal inference, econometric modeling and estimation using survey data, and methods for analyzing non-probability and biased samples.
