Education

B.S. and M.S. in Applied Statistics, ISRT, University of Dhaka.

Research Interests

• Longitudinal data analysis, multivariate discrete data analysis, survival analysis, statistical computing, biostatistics

• Curriculum Vitae (pdf)

Publications(Journal)

• A Jaman, AHMM Latif, W Bari and AS Wahed. “A determinant-based criterion for working correlation structure selection in generalized estimating equations”. Statistics in Medicine, 35(11), 1819-1833, 2016.

R Codes

• calcDBC : R codes for computing the value of the Determinant Based Criterion (DBC) for a given GEE model. To choose an appropriate working correlation structure in GEE one can compute DBC for different correlation structures among the listed ones and choose the structure that results in the minimum value of DBC criterion.
