I attended Beal Grammar School for Boys in Essex, UK, and left to start work at the age of 16. After several years working as a junior clerk, I enrolled in an Honours degree in Statistics at the University of Bath, graduating in 1972.

A little bit about me
I attended Beal Grammar School for Boys in Essex, UK, and left to start work at the age of 16. After several years working as a junior clerk, I enrolled in an Honours degree in Statistics at the University of Bath, graduating in 1972. This was followed by a Masters degree in Medical Statistics at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine in 1973, supervised by Professor Peter Armitage. I then took up a Junior Research Fellowship at the University of Aberdeen medical school in late 1973 before joining the World Health Organization in 1974. I worked for 5 years at the WHO head office in Geneva, followed by 2 years at the WHO European Regional Office in Copenhagen.
In 1981 I moved to Australia and worked for many years in the South Australian Department of Health as Principal Epidemiologist. In the mid-1990’s, I took a break from epidemiology, and became Managing Director of a market research company. This gave me great experience in survey research, and qualitative research, as well as HR management and sales. However, I eventually moved back into academic life, and in 2002 I received my PhD in epidemiology from Flinders University.
At the University of South Australia, one of my main roles is to provide advice on biostatistics and epidemiology to researchers in the health and medical areas. I am also a Chief Investigator on several research grants. I am the author of over 400 publications and have an h-index of 77. I am experienced at mentoring Research Fellows and junior staff, and of course PhD students. I am ranked by ScholarGPS in the top 0.5% of all scholars worlwide. In 2023 I was awarded Life Membership of the Australasian Epidemiological Association for my services to the AEA and epidemiology in Australia and New Zealand.
I really enjoy writing, and have written a number of articles about epidemiology and COVID-19 on the Medium website. I have also written over 30 articles for The Conversation about COVID-19 and other topics, with over 2.5 million reads. I have published a book on PhD supervision. I have also become an avid tweeter - @profesterman, with over 37,000 followers. I have also now joined BueSkye, a more pleasant alternative to X, with the handle @profesterman. I also give presentations on the current COVID-19 situation to community, business, academic and professional groups.

PhD Supervision
My supervision philosophy is based on a wonderful poem by William Butler Yates:
I would spread the cloths under your feet
But I, being poor, have only my dreams
I have spread my dreams under your feet
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.
My students have come from all areas of health, dentistry, or medicine - usually with an interest in evidence-based practice. I have so far had 38 PhD students successfuly complete, two of them winning the Ian Davies university prize for best thesis, and several now full professors. I have been nominated by the University of South Australia for a national award for my PhD supervison.

A little bit about biostatistics
Biostatistics is somewhat different to the discipline of statistics in that biostatisticians are usually trained in university departments of public health, whereas statisticians are trained in university schools of mathematics and statistics. As well as standard statistical procedures, biostatisticians are experts in the design and analysis of clinical trials, the analysis of rates of disease, measures of the association between exposures and outcome, survival analysis, diagnostic testing, disease clustering and surveillance, disease screening, reliability and method comparison studies and biological assays. The statistical analysis of genetic studies has formed its own discipline called bioinformatics, which is somewhat different. The University of Adelaide is part of the Biostatistics Collaboration of Australia (BCA), and a Master of Biostatistics through the BCA qualifies you as a professional biostatistician.
A little bit about epidemiology
Epidemiology is the study of diseases in populations. The majority of epidemiologists start with a medical degree, followed by postgraduate qualifications and training in public health and epidemiology. However, epidemiologists may also originally have started with degrees in medical statistics (like myself), psychology, nursing or many other discipline areas. Much of epidemiology is about the association between an exposure factor (which might be a risk factor like smoking, or an intervention) and an outcome (usually a disease).
This wonderful cartoon is definitely worth viewing:
How exposures are related to outcomes
Textbooks
I am often asked to recommend a good textbook. So here are my current thoughts:
For those looking for free statistical software. I can highly recommend jamovi, which including addons which you can download, has a surprising number of features, and can directly import from Excel, SPSS and Stata. You can download it here:

STATISTICAL TIPS
Multiple testing
The concern when testing m hypotheses simultaneously is to control the familywise error rate, the probability of making any false discovery. For example, if you undertake 10 hypothesis tests, each at the p=0.05 level, then the chance of any one not being statistically significant is 0.95. The probability of all 10 not being statistically is 0.95^10 = 0.60. Hence the probability of at least one being statistically significant by chance is 0.40. In other words, there is a 40% chance of a false positive.
To avoid this, we adjust the p-values to take into account multiple testing. For example, suppose you conducted 5 hypothesis tests, and obtained the following p-values.
Hypothesis 3 4 1 2 5
Original p-values 0.003 0.008 0.013 0.048 0.233
Without any adjustment, we would reject the null hypothesis of no difference for hypotheses 3, 4, 1 and 2.
The simplest adjustment that can be made is that attributed to Bonferroni. Here you simply divide the nominal p-value (0.05) by the number of tests and use that as the criterion. In our case, since there were 5 tests, we would compare the result of each test to 0.05/5=0.01, and that would be our new criterion. In that case, only hypotheses 3 and 4 would be stataistically significant.
However, Bonferroni has been shown to be overly conservative, and a better adjustment called the Holme-Bonferroni can be used. First sort the m p-values into size order as above. Then compare the most significant against 0.05/m, the next against 0.05/(m-1), the next 0.05/(m-2) etc. Now hypotheses 3, 4 and 1 are statistically significant.
Finally, we can use a technique that controls the false discovery rate (FDR). There are many methods for doing this, but the one I recommend is by Benjamani, Krieger and Yekutieli (2006). There is a Stata do file for obtaining these adjusted p-values called fdr_sharpened_qvalues.do which I can supply if you contact me. It uses a method called sharpened q-values.
Hypothesis 3 4 1 2 5
Original p-values 0.003 0.008 0.013 0.048 0.233
Sharpened q-values 0.016 0.017 0.018 0.025 0.064
The conclusions are the same as when using the unadjusted p-values. So, you can see that the sharpened q-value method is the most powerful of adjustments for multiple testing.
