Tito Mendoza, PhD
Dr. Mendoza provides the necessary statistical expertise for the majority of the PRG's projects. His work also includes planning and designing trials to evaluate the psychometric properties of new pain and symptom management assessment instruments. His applied interest is in the measurement issues that challenge the field of quality of life and symptom-related outcomes. His methodological interest is in exploring the area of equivalency testing - a statistical hypothesis testing procedure where the intent is to show equivalency rather than differences.
