Dr. Hsieh’s research work covers both methodological developments and their applications. His main research area is lifetime distribution and life table analysis. This includes construction of life tables using spline interpolation and wavelet analysis and the development of distributional models for the two extremes of the lifespan. His current research interests are in statistical inference of point processes, particularly the spatial point process methods and the counting processes martingale inference in survival analysis, epidemiology, demography and medical sciences. He is also involved in epidemiological study designs and development of statistical inference methods for different designs (including clinical trials). He has a long working experience in epidemic modeling, population modeling and demographic analysis. His research in these areas has earned him several individual awards, including National Scientist Award and Senior Public Health Scientist Award in Canada. He has been the principal investigator of a dozen research grants and the co-investigator of another dozen grants.
Statistical Consulting
For more than three decades Dr. Hsieh has been providing statistical consulting services to various investigators covering most areas of applied statistics including stochastic modeling, multiple logistic and smooth regression techniques especially spline methods, linear and non-linear modeling, multivariate statistical data analysis, design and analysis of clinical trials and epidemiologic studies, survey design and sampling, time series analysis, Bayesian methods, survival analysis, longitudinal data analysis, life table analysis, demographic methods, bootstrapping and computer simulation. He has also been involved in many collaborative projects serving as a study or trial statistician for the funded research projects.
