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!

Is there a report or a paper associated with the talk? My morning lecture doesn't end until 10:45, and 75 minutes isn't time enough to make it from San Antonio to Harvard...

Prof Anderson, alas, there is as yet no paper. We are presently at the stage of running simulations to see if the model we're proposing produces intervals with nominal coverage. When a paper is ready for review, you can be sure that I'll announce it on this blog!
