- Dr. Tao Wang: "Dr. Wang developed multiple imputation methods that have applications to the problem of missing data in multivariate one-sided tests in medical, pharmaceutical and sample survey studies. He applied these methods to studies of mental distress and HIV dynamics." (May 2011)
- Dr. Mohamadreza Hosseini: "Dr. Hosseini developed statistical models predicting precipitation, temperature and associated extreme weather events such as drought, toward managing agricultural climate risks. He also developed a way to approximate large datasets. To assess such approximations, he introduced a novel performance metric that is invariant under re-scaling of the data." (May 2010)
- Dr. Michael David Regier: "Dr. Regier examined how missing information and measurement error affects the statistical analysis of complex data sets and proposed an adjustment which reduces the bias associated with estimated model parameters. He applied his methodology to investigate the role of culture in the use of end-of-life health services." (November 2009)
- Dr. Chi Wai Yu: "Dr. Yu developed a new statistical criterion for making good decisions based on a different way to evaluate the cost of bad decisions. His method provides improved performance over other methods for data analysis in some parameter estimation and model selection contexts" (May 2009)
