Alexandra M. (Alex) Schmidt is a Brazilian biostatistician who works as an associate professor of biostatistics at McGill University in Canada. [1] She is known for her research on spatiotemporal and multivariate statistics and their applications in environmental statistics and epidemiology. [2]
Education and career
Schmidt earned bachelor's and master's degrees in statistics at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro in 1994 and 1996 respectively. [1] She completed her Ph.D. in statistics in 2001 at the University of Sheffield. Her dissertation, Bayesian Spatial Interpolation of Pollution Monitoring Stations, was supervised by Tony O'Hagan. [1] [3]
She was a faculty member at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro [4] before moving to McGill in 2016. [1]
Recognition
Schmidt became an Elected Member of the International Statistical Institute in 2010. [1] [5] She was president of the International Society for Bayesian Analysis for the 2015 term. [4] She was elected as a Fellow of the American Statistical Association in 2020. [6]
In 2017 the Section on Statistics and the Environment of the American Statistical Association gave Schmidt their Distinguished Achievement Medal "for fundamental contributions to the development of spatio-temporal process theory, most notably to the theory of multivariate processes through coregionalization as well as the modelling of spatial covariance matrices; for related applications to the environmental and ecological science, and for service to the profession." [2]
Publications
- An Adaptive resampling scheme for cycle estimation, 1998
- Spatial stochastic frontier models : accounting for unobserved local determinants of inefficiency, 2006
