MSc Dissertation
“Identifying Responders to Melphalan and Dexamethasone for Newly Diagnosed Multiple Myeloma Patients. Queen’s University, Kingston, ON, 2008”. I used classification and regression tree analysis (CART) and subgroup analyses in SAS to identify independent predictive factors for overall survival of patients with cancer. Martingale Residuals were used as response variable. My published thesis can be found here: My MSc Dissertation Available on Queen’s University Website Abbas Smiley,
PhD Dissertation
“Identifying the association of sleep and metabolic syndrome in three large datasets of NHANES, Jackson Heart Study and REGARDS”. I employed the generalized additive models with penalized smoothing spline to assess the relationship.
