Longitudinal Mixed Models (LMM) for Veterinary Orthopedics Study

Lead Biostatistician Contribution:

Led the formal statistical analysis and validation for a study published in VCOT (DOI: 10.1055/a-2889-7706), evaluating antimicrobial elution stability in gas-sterilized CaSO4 beads.

Longitudinal Modeling: Formulated linear mixed-effects models (LMM) in R to analyze repeated-measures Zone of Inhibition data (daily over 5 days across 5 storage timepoints).

Hierarchical Control: Modeled within-bead correlation, fixed interactions, and random intercepts.

Validation: Executed statistical validation and co-authored the methods/results sections.
