Krista J. Gile
Professor; Coordinator, Statistics Program
Krista J. Gile's research focuses on developing statistical methodology for social and behavioral science research, particularly related to making inference about hard-to-reach human populations and from partially-observed social network structures. Much of her work is focused on understanding the strengths and limitations of data sampled with link-tracing designs such as snowball sampling, contact tracing, and respondent-driven sampling.
