Fernanda L. Schumacher

Fernanda L. Schumacher works in statistics, developing methods for analyzing complex data such as repeated measurements collected over time on the same individuals, especially when data are censored (values only partially known, e.g., below a detection limit), heavy-tailed, or irregularly spaced. Much of this methodological work is motivated by applications in biostatistics and health-related fields, including collaborations on dental research and studies involving conditions like multiple sclerosis. She also contributes open-source statistical software (R packages) that implement these methods for other researchers to use.

Publication output has grown substantially over the last decade, rising from occasional single papers per year before 2020 to a sustained pace of roughly 10 or more per year in 2024-2025.
