Tze-San Lee

Tze-San Lee is a professor emeritus of Western Illinois University and a retired mathematical statistician of Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. He got his Ph. D in Applied Mathematics from State University of New York at Stony Brook in 1976. From 1980 to 2001 he taught mathematics and statistics at the WIU. Since 2002 he has worked for the CDC and was retired in May 2014. In addition, he also taught at Michigan State University, National Chung-Hsing University and The University of Alabama.

He has published numerous research papers in applied mathematics, statistics, and biostatistics in epidemiology on topics like health effect on human health from forest fires, risk factors on mortality from disasters of landslides, and misclassification on the exposure status in case-control studies.

In addition, he plans to write two other books: “Medical Statistics: An Overview (MSOA)” and “Misclassification in Case-Control Studies (MCCS)”. MSOA is based on the lecture notes (power point slides) he taught to international students in a course in biostatistics offered by the School of Public Health, Zhejiang University located in Hangzhou, China in the summer quarter of 2012. On the other hand, MCCS will employ the counterfactual model to deal with the general issue related to misclassification in case-control studies.
