American statistician
Katherine Taylor Halvorsen is an American statistician and
statistics educator whose research topics have included
statistical significance for
contingency tables ,
[1] and the
conditional logistic regression method for analysis of multiple risk factors in
case–control studies .
[2] She was co-author of four editions of Mathematics Education in the United States , a quadrennial review publication of the
National Council of Teachers of Mathematics ,
[3] and serves on the Mathematical Sciences Academic Advisory Committee of the
College Board .

Education and career
Halvorsen is a graduate of the
University of Michigan . After earning master's degrees from
Boston University
[5] and in 1978, the
University of Washington ,
[6] she completed her Ph.D. in
biostatistics in 1984 at the
Harvard School of Public Health , with the dissertation Estimating Population Parameters Using Information from Several Independent Sources supervised by
Frederick Mosteller .
