Fernanda Schumacher
Assistant Professor
Dr. Schumacher's primary research interest has been developing robust statistical models that can accommodate specific characteristics frequently found in applications, such as outliers, skewness, time dependence, and censoring. She has experience working with regression and mixed models in the context of time series and longitudinal data, mainly from a frequentist point of view. Most of her work is available as open-source R packages, facilitating the use of these flexible models in applications.
