Dr. Roger Newson

Dr. Newson is an applied statistician and statistical programmer, with a wide range of research experience. This has been mainly medical, which is unsurprising, as he came to statistics from a genetics background. He works extensively on the analysis, management and validation of medical data. His analyses use a very broad range of methods, standard and non-standard, developing new methods when appropriate. He has written and distributed over 120 packages in the Stata statistical language, for implementing methods and also doing data management.
