Xi-Liang Gu
Statistician Sr.
Overview
Independently programmed at all levels of code (using SAS Enterprise Guide, SAS Grid System, SAS/SQL, SAS/STAT, FORTRAN) from large health data sets (hundreds of GBs) for multiple research projects both in the Dept. of Veterans Affairs (VA) and Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) health systems, and several health research data files (such as Framingham Heart Study, Framingham Offspring Heart Study) with accurate and efficient programming skills; created timelines for analyses and modeling of data for projects. Also directed data analyses and quality control checks for data sets of Medicare services and vital statistics files linked to the National Long Term Care Survey (NLTCS) data files (extending work done for DHHS/ASPE projects) as a supplement to the NIH/NIA project “The future of major geriatric disorders in the U.S. elderly.
