Profile

Dr. Peng is a biostatistician and Professor in the Department of Community Health and Epidemiology at Queen's University. Dr.Peng's methodology research has focused on: marginal and random effects models for survival data with a cured fraction; semi-parametric estimation methods and model selection for survival models, and statistical models for observational studies.  Much of this research has involved Ph.D students, and collaborations with researchers at CCE, NCIC Clinical Trials Group, University of South Carolina, University of Michigan, and NCI, and is applicable in both clinical trials and observational studies.

Current Interests

• Statistical models for survival data with a cure fraction
• Statistical methods for causality analysis in observational studies
• Novel statistical methods for analyzing data from case-cohort studies, life expectancy calculations
• Use of statistical methods in assessing adoption of adjuvant chemotherapy for non-small cell lung cancer and bladder cancer in Ontario.

Research Areas

• Cure models
• Multivariate survival models
• Clinical and population studies of cancer treatments
• Statistical computing and Bayesian methods
• Statistical consulting
