Ken Kleinman

I'm a biostatistician and an Associate Professor in the Department of Population Medicine at the Harvard Pilgrim Health Care Institute and Harvard Pilgrim Health Care. There, I work on research projects ranging from observational epidemiology to public health surveillance to delivery science. I've been a SAS user since 1990 and an S+/R user since 1996. Most of my current work outside research has been devoted to helping people learn SAS and R, the two dominant statistical computing tools in the medical area today. While many users are wholly invested in just one of these environments, I encourage people to be stronger analysts by maintaining capabilities in each. Having access to more tools means a greater likelihood of having access to the right tool.

At home, I live in beautiful western Massachusetts with my wife, Alice, and Facha the dog. Oops, that must have been a flashback-- I mean, with Sara, Abby and Sam, and Pepper the cat.
