Applied Statistics - Jim Greiner

This week, the Applied Statistics Workshop resumes for the spring term with a talk by Jim Greiner, a Ph.D. candidate in the Statistics Department. The talk is entitled "Ecological Inference in Larger Tables: Bounds, Correlations, Individual-Level Stories, and a More Flexible Model," and is based on joint work with Kevin Quinn from the Government Department. Jim graduated with a B.A. in Government from the University of Virginia in 1991 and then received a J.D. from the University of Michigan Law School in 1995. He clerked for Judge Patrick Higginbotham on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit and was a practicing lawyer in the Justice Department and private practice before joining the Statistics Department here at Harvard. As chair of the author's committee, he is a familiar figure to readers of this blog.

As a reminder, the Applied Statistics Workshop meets in Room N354 in the CGIS Knafel Building (next to the Design School) at 12:00 on Wednesdays during the academic term. Everyone is welcome, and lunch is provided. We hope to see you there!
