Overview

David R. Cox was affiliated with Stanford University in the United States. Their research work primarily spanned the field of Mathematics, with notable contributions in Statistics and Probability as well as General Agricultural and Biological Sciences.

The scientist's research topics covered several areas including:

  • Advanced Statistical Methods and Models
  • Agricultural Economics and Practices
  • Statistics Education and Methodologies

They had a record of published papers that appeared in venues such as Significance and UNC Libraries. Notable recent papers included:

  • "C. R. Rao's Century", published in 2020 in Significance
  • "Loss-of-function mutations in SLC30A8 protect against type 2 diabetes", published in 2020 in UNC Libraries

David R. Cox collaborated with several frequent co-authors, including:

  • Jaakko Tuomilehto
  • Bradley Efron
  • Шун-ичи Амари
  • Donald B. Rubin
  • Arni S. R. Srinivasa Rao

Their work appeared predominantly in publication venues that would be relevant to statistics and biological sciences, reflecting a cross-disciplinary engagement with both mathematical theory and applied agricultural economics.

No book publications or awards were recorded within the available data. David R. Cox was deceased, and therefore their contributions represent a completed corpus of academic work.
