معرفی
Ingeborg Waernbaum is a Professor at the Department of Statistics, Uppsala University, and a Researcher at the Institute for Evaluation of Labour Market and Education Policy (IFAU). Her work bridges biostatistics, causal inference, and epidemiology, with a focus on observational studies and methodological innovations.
- Primary Affiliation: Department of Statistics, Uppsala University
- Secondary Affiliation: IFAU (Institute for Evaluation of Labour Market and Education Policy)
Her research centers on:
- Causal inference methodologies for observational data
- Propensity score modeling and doubly robust estimation
- Selection bias bounding and sensitivity analysis
- Applications to diabetes epidemiology and socioeconomic health disparities
Recent publications (2023-2025) highlight her dual focus on theoretical advances in causal effect estimation (e.g., entropy balancing, mediation analysis) and applied biostatistical studies in diabetes and public health. She has developed R packages for selection bias bounding and covariate selection, emphasizing practical tools for researchers.
Key methodological contributions include:
- Clarifying limitations of doubly robust estimators
- Advancing sensitivity analysis for unmeasured confounding
- Examining efficiency trade-offs in propensity score methods
Applied work spans:
- Diabetes incidence trends and complications
- Socioeconomic determinants of health outcomes
- Fracture risk analysis in pediatric populations
She actively engages in:
- Register data analysis
- Statistical software development (R packages)
- Methodological critiques and robustness studies
