Ellinor Fackle Fornius
About me
Works as a Senior Lecturer in Statistics, teaching courser in statistics and data analysis and conducting research primarily in the field of optimal design of experiments. Project leader for the research project 'Long-term Effects of Treatments for Self-harming Behavior - Statistical Method Development and Analysis.' Participates in a project developing models for testing items in knowledge assessments with the PRIM group.
Teaching
Teaches at both undergraduate and master courses, for example, on statistical theory, optimal design, and R programming
Research
Conducts research in the field of optimal design of experiments, particularly for situations where the experiment generates data analyzed using nonlinear or generalized linear models. This is common in a variety of applications, such as in drug trials and knowledge assessments. By optimising the design of an experiment well, for example, to find an appropriate dose for a drug or to estimate the difficulty of items in a test, the number of patients or students required to participate can be minimized, while maintaining a given precision in the estimates.
