Daniel A. Powers

Powers’ research focuses on health disparities; with a specific focus on the Hispanic infant mortality paradox and race/ethnic comparisons of change in infant mortality over time. Most of his substantive work is intertwined with his methodological interests in survival modeling; regression decomposition; age-period-cohort models; and other topics. In addition to his focus on the Hispanic paradox; Powers investigates race (black-white) differences in the sources of change in infant mortality using an age-period-cohort perspective. Powers applies state of the art statistical computing approaches to substantive problems; and is affiliate of the Population Research Center and faculty associate in the Department of Statistics and Data Sciences.
