معرفی
Yun-Hee Choi is a Professor at the Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics, Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry, Western University. Her research focuses on advanced statistical methodologies for complex biomedical data, particularly in genetic and cancer epidemiology contexts.
- BSc in Statistics
- MA in Statistics
- PhD in Biostatistics
She specializes in joint modeling, dynamic prediction, correlated survival data analysis, and statistical genetics, with applications to Lynch syndrome and familial colorectal cancer. Her methodological work includes copula models, frailty models, and multistate models for analyzing competing risks and recurrent events.
Recent publications demonstrate expertise in genetic risk estimation, cancer progression modeling, and family-based survival analysis. She develops computational tools like the FamEvent R package for time-to-event data in genetic studies.
