Scholar-generated biography
Kristen Hunter is a Lecturer at UNSW, specializing in causal inference. Her research focuses on statistical methods for evaluating treatment effects, particularly in complex experimental designs. She explores causal inference techniques in contexts such as medication adherence, health outcomes, and regulatory compliance. Hunter's work includes developing statistical tools for power analysis, handling multiple outcomes, and addressing non-compliance in randomized experiments. Her research also examines the safety benefits of bicycle helmets using linked data and investigates the impact of regulatory non-compliance in regeneration projects. Her publications highlight the application of Bayesian methods and potential outcomes frameworks in causal inference.
