Professor Mike Kenward BSc MSc PhD

Professor of Biostatistics

I received a BSc (I) in Mathematical Statistics from the University of Birmingham in 1977, and have an MSc in Biometry (1978) and PhD in Statistics (1981) from the University of Reading. I have been involved in research in fisheries, agriculture, animal health, pre-clinical and clinical medicine and epidemiology; with positions in Iceland and Finland as well as the Universities of Kent and Reading, and Rothamsted Experimental Station in the UK. I have been a consultant in biostatistics for over twenty-five years, and have given over 100 short courses in statistics throughout the world.

Affiliation

Teaching

My internal teaching is confined to the MSc in Medical Statistics, for which I have contributed to several modules, including Robust Statistical Methods and The Analysis of Hierarchical and Dependent Data. I currently organise and do most of the teaching on the Advanced Statistical Methods module. I also contrubute to short courses within the School such as Causal Inference in Epidemiology, and run a small number of external short courses each year both in the UK and overseas.

Research

I have very wide interests in biostatistics and statistical inference. My main area of research concerns statistical methodology in the analysis of repeated measurements and longitudinal data, with emphasis on the problems associated with missing values.
