Hongyuan Cao has two major methodological research interests. The first is in statistical and computational methods for large complex data sets including large-scale multiple testing, high-dimensional variance-covariance matrix estimation. The second is in longitudinal and survival data analysis using non-parametric and semi-parametric methods. Her collaborative interests include rare adverse events in vaccine safety studies, diagnostic agreement among clinicians, arsenic exposure and cancer risk.
- Develop powerful large-scale multiple testing methods under dependence
- Estimate variance-covariance matrix in high-dimensional data sets
- Study asynchronous longitudinal observations with time-to-event outcome
- Evaluate agreement among clinicians with cross-sectional design
- Post-marketing safety studies
- Cancer risk in the presence of competing risk
