Chris Sherlock

I am a lecturer in medical statistics at Lancaster University.

There is funding available for a PhD student to investigate computationally intensive methods for analysing multivariate longitudinal binary data.

Teaching 2008/2009

Research

Research interests include the Markov Modulated Poisson Processes, optimal scaling for the random walk Metropolis, geostatistics, and mixed modelling. I am part based at the National Centre for Zoonosis Research where I collaborate on epidemiological projects. I also organise the computational statistics group.

Other

During my PhD I found out a little about particle filters. Here is an introduction to the SIR and ASIR filters - an explanation for beginners.
