New Professor Joins Government and IQSS

I'm thrilled to announce that Adam Glynn, Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Statistics at the University of Washington, has accepted the offer of the Government Department to be an Assistant Professor here. Adam is a political methodologist and will also be a resident faculty member at the Institute for Quantitative Social Science. His recent work shows how to improve ecological inferences with small, strategically selected samples of individuals. And as it turns out, he can also do the reverse: his work uses ecological inferences from aggregate data to adjust the relationships among the variables in survey data in a manner better than the sometimes current practice of adjusting only the marginals. He has also done work in a variety of other interesting areas. Welcome Adam!
