Researcher biography
Dr Peter Baker is an Honorary Associate Professor at the Queensland Alliance for Agriculture and Food Innovation
From 2021-2023, Peter was an Honorary Senior Lecturer at the School of Public Health, University of Queensland. For twelve years until the end of 2020, he was a Senior Lecturer in Biostatistics at the School of Public Health and a senior statistical collaborator, advisor and consultant to several research projects in the Faculty of Medicine, School of Public Health.
With fourty years experience as a statistical consultant and researcher, Peter has a passion for biometrics in agricultural research and biostatistics applied to public health and medical research. He also champions reproducible research and reporting and to this end has developed R and Make software to aid the workflow of data analysts in any field. As a statistical consultant and collaborator, he has contributed to many agricultural, genetic, public health and medical research projects. His contribution has ranged from advice on standard statistical approaches to the application of novel methods to improve statistical analysis or the development of new statistical methodology to fill a gap in the knowledge.
Peter's current research interests:
- efficient statistical computing using R, Make, Git and related software for the workflow of data analysis,
- reproducible research and reporting using R, Markdown, Quarto and Sweave,
- tailoring R functions and developing bespoke packages for specific statistical analyses, and
- applied statistlcal research in novel methods for epidemiological and medial research, including
- graphical models for multivariate data in epidemiology,
- statistical methods for modelling trajectories of alcohol consumption in youths,
- propensity score analysis to adjust for selection bias in observational studies, and
- Bayesian methods for epidemiological and medical MCMC studies.
Dr Baker is an Accredited Statistician (ASTAT) with the Statistical Society of Australia (see SSAI_Accreditation)
