Psychiatric epidemiology

Andrew Pickles

MRC Child Psychiatry Unit and Department of Biostatistics and Computing, Institute of Psychiatry, London, UK

Statisticians working in psychiatric epidemiology regularly confront a variety of problems that are rare in other branches of epidemiology. These problems range from the frequent absence of ‘objective’ biological markers and consequent reliance on informant and self-reports of considerable fallability, to the perhaps corresponding frequent use of multivariate statistical methods such as latent variable modelling. Equally, such difficulties can be regarded as challenges that offer the statistician a critical role.
