Ken Kleinman, Sc.D.

Dr. Kleinman is an Associate Professor in the Department of Population Medicine and is an applied biostatistician with diverse interests. He is involved with many projects at the DPM, including vaccine and bioterrorism surveillance, observational epidemiology, and individual-, practice-, and community-randomized interventions. Dr. Kleinman also consults within the DPM and HPHC on various statistical issues and advises DPM fellows on statistical and methodological aspects of their research projects. His statistical research centers mainly on methods for clustered and longitudinal repeated measures data. He also has interests in the area of missing data methods.
 Dr. Kleinman's latest project is a bilingual dictionary showing how to do in R what you know how to do in SAS, and vice versa. It's available to pre-order from Amazon.


Also see the book web site, which has the table of contents, FAQ, and other information, and the book blog, which has additional examples of parallel SAS and R code.
