Logan Harris

I am a 5th year PhD candidate at the University of Iowa in the Department of Biostatistics advised by Patrick Breheny.

My dissertation research focuses on confidence intervals construction for penalized regression models like lasso. Specifically, I see my research as an ode to the lasso. How? I am particularly interested in intervals that respect the original model fit. Many methods focus on debiasing, but this inherently requires ignoring the lasso penalty in one way or another. This requires a shift in perspective, and if you are interested in hearing more, a paper is in submission and I will make it available here as soon as I can. Or, if you have thoughts or questions, don’t hesitate to email me!

In my spare time you can find me outside. I’m either at the park with my two dog-hters, backpacking with my wife (and dog-hters), or running somewhere lost on a trail.
