Research I completed my PhD in Statistics at McGill University in 2006. My research interests are in survival analysis and other medical applications of statistics. My thesis (pdf) is entitled, "Stationarity in a prevalent cohort study with follow-up". Here is a recent paper which I co-authored on testing the assumptions for the analysis of survival data arising from a prevalent cohort study. I have also been interested in statistical methods for post-election audits. Here is a paper (pdf) I co-authored on the subject, published in The American Statistician in 2008. I am also interested in sports statistics. I have worked with undergraduate students on adjusted plus-minus ratings in the NBA, and on the relative age effect phenomenon, and the effects of steroid useage in Major League Baseball. For a complete list of my publications, please see my CV. |

Personal
I was raised in Montreal, Quebec, Canada and am the son of Italian immigrants. I am thus fluent in both French and
Italian. My wife Isadora is from Golden, Colorado, and she completed her PhD in School Psychology at the University
of Minnesota. In May 2013, we welcomed a new addition to our family, our first child, Fabian Addona. We love curling
up on the couch together (along with our cat, Grigia) and making each other laugh.
As a proud Canadian, I am a huge hockey fan (Isadora loves the Colorado Avalanche and my favorite team is the
Montreal Canadiens, of course). I also love football (NY Jets) and baseball (I still miss the Montreal Expos ...).
