Dr. Anderson is a Professor of Biostatistics and has been a faculty member at the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center (OUHSC) since 2009.  He is a methodologist with research interests in developing new methods for analyzing high dimensional data.  He has successfully developed methods for constructing Bayesian probability models to classify short DNA strands of unknown origin to the species which they belong, determining infants at risk of severe intra-ventricular hemorrhage, and detecting differential gene expressions between treatment and control groups.  Dr. Anderson has served as a pediatric collaborative biostatistician for the past decade and has 119 peer-reviewed collaborative manuscripts during that time.  He brings his expertise of probability models into the classroom where he teaches and mentors students in the areas of probability theory, linear models, and applied Bayesian analyses.  He has a passion for developing statistical software and served as the PI on a subcontract of an NIH STTR Phase I award aimed at developing user-friendly Bayesian analysis software.
