Professor Suhail A. R. Doi
Biography
Prior to joining the Australian National University Dr Doi was Head of the Clinical Epidemiology Unit, Chair of the Population Health Domain of the School of Medicine, Director of Epidemiology programs and Associate Professor of Clinical Epidemiology at the University of Queensland. He has also worked as a specialist in endocrinology abroad and continues to do so part time after coming to Australia. He has published widely and has more than 160 publications listed on PubMed, written a core text on clinical epidemiology and edited a book on the methods of clinical epidemiology as part of the Springer Series in Epidemiology and Public Health. He is the primary author (with Dr Lukman Thalib) of the Doi-Thalib method for meta-analysis which was introduced in 2008 as an alternative to the random effects model. He is also the author of the IVhet model of meta-analysis with Dr Jan Barendregt of the University of Queensland. Dr Doi is an Associate Editor of the journal Clinical Medicine & Research and is a reviewer for several journals in Endocrinology, Medicine and Public Health. His interest lies in research that addresses unanswered questions in patient care as well as questions related to methods of research design and analysis used in Medicine. Thus his research focuses on patient care topics such as epidemiology, prognosis and treatments of disease as well as methodology especially that related to meta-analysis. Specific interests lie in the clinical epidemiology of polycystic ovary syndrome (his group was responsible for defining its pathophysiology in 2005-2006), clinical epidemiologic methods to evaluate prognosis and treatment, pharmacoepidemiologic studies, and population based studies of cancer epidemiology. He has a specific methodologic interest in the refinement and proper use of the meta-analysis methodologies and would welcome inquiries from graduate students interested in this area.

Available student projects
I would be interested in expressions of interest from PhD candidates interested in statistical meta-analysis and simulation studies. The research topics include:
1. Discrepancies between meta-analyses and large randomized controlled trials. This has been attempted by LeLorier et al in 1997 but the focus here will be the methods used. It is well known that the fixed and random effects models both exhibit over-dispersion and this could have led to this problem. In this project a more careful comparison against older and newer methods will be done to determine if this was an effect of faulty models. Also, there will be a focus on a comparison of the approaches to statistical meta-analysis.
2. Quality scores in meta-analysis. An evaluation of univariate quality scores and impact on meta-analysis using stratification as done by Juni et al in 1999 and use of models that incorporate these into the analysis. It is likely that previous studies found quality scores unreliable because stratification by scores also stratifies studies by precision and therefore previous studies have reached subjective conclusions. This project will also look at empirical weighting schemes for quality components that make up a univariate score as opposed to equal weighting and come up with an optimal quality assesment weights for quality components for comparative studies.
Interested students should have an understanding of mathematical statistics especially as related to meta-analysis and have some experience of simulations in statistics.
