Mark J. Lamias

Hi, my name is Mark Lamias and I'm a Graduate Student in the Department of Statistics.  My interests include finite population sampling techniques, including sampling of hard to find populations, analysis of missing data, and analysis of massive datasets.  I am also the owner of a statistical consulting firm called The Stochastic Group, Inc. in Atlanta, GA.  I have been a statistical consultant and survey methodologist with the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention since 2003.  I currently work in the National Center for Zoonotic & Emerging Infectious Diseases.

I received my undergraduate degrees in Statistics and Political Science from the University of Michigan, in 2000.  While at Michigan, I worked from 1997 until 2000 at the Institute for Social Research's Survey Methodology Program at the Survey Research Center where I discovered my interests in surveys and sampling techniques.
