Race and Wrongful Conviction in the United States

In collaboration with professional statistician Nayak Pollisar, PhD and fellow graduate Cindy Elder, MS, I studied factors that contribute the wrongful convictions in the United States. My work heavily consisted of producing data visualizations and summaries, and eventually multiple nonlinear regression of penalty-related outcomes. An outstanding achievement of this project was my measure of interrelated association between race and alleged crime through hypothesis testing of statistical interaction.
