Research Statement
Dr. Ellenberg's statistical research has focused on issues affecting validity and inferential viability/generalizability in clinical research, including bias arising from patient selection and subjects lost to follow-up, uniformity of methods of assessment across centers in multicenter studies, missing data and completeness of reporting, barriers to access to enrollment pools in observational studies, and intention to treat analysis in clinical trials. His medical interests include the etiology and prognosis of cerebral palsy (CP), convulsive disorders, and other neurological disorders in children, neurodegenerative disorders, and the treatment and prognosis of HIV in adolescents. He is an elected fellow of the American Statistical Association, the International Statistical Institute and the AAAS, and is past President of the American Statistical Association and of the International Biometric Society.
