Selected earlier theses
Pre-2001-completion, PhD students were not affiliated to the CMMB as it only came into being in 1998. However, various theses in statistical topics of relevance were completed prior to this time:
Clancy, Damian (1993) Epidemic models in heterogeneous populations. PhD thesis.
O'Neill, Phil (1993) Contributions to the theory of stochastic epidemic models. PhD thesis.
Grieve, Andy (1992) Implementation of Bayesian methods in the pharmaceutical industry. PhD thesis.
Wakefield, Jonathan (1992) The Bayesian analysis of pharmacokinetic models. PhD thesis.
