Associate Professor Maurizio Manuguerra is the Head of the Department of Statistics within the School of Mathematical and Physical Sciences at Macquarie University. His current research interests center around survival analysis, competing risks, ordinal regression on continuous scales, and transformation models for flexible regression. He focuses on penalized likelihood methods to estimate baseline regression coefficients for proportional hazards Cox models, particularly under conditions of left, right, and interval censored data. Furthermore, in the domain of competing risks, he is working on solutions related to the definition of risk sets that differ from those defined by the Cox Proportional Hazards model. Manuguerra employs transformation models to analyze outcomes that cannot be considered in ratio terms, working to link predictors affecting a variable on a latent scale with observed scales through deterministic functions that need to be estimated. This area of research is promising and Manuguerra actively encourages prospective PhD students to explore these interesting research avenues.
