Albert Vexler

Albert Vexler is an academic based at University of Buffalo, New York. In 2015, he was appointed to the editorial board of Biometrics as associate editor, where he served until December 31, 2017.<ref name="Ref1" />
Vexler was born in Birobidzhan, The Jewish Autonomous Oblast, USSR on 23 September 1971. His Ph.D. degree in Statistics and Probability Theory was obtained from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem in 2003. His Ph.D. advisor was 'Marcy Bogen'-Professor Moshe Pollak, Fellow of the American Statistical Association. Dr. Vexler was a postdoctoral research fellow in the Biometry and Mathematical Statistics Branch at the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development.
Vexler is a tenured Full Professor at the State University of New York at Buffalo, Department of Biostatistics. Professor Vexler has authored and co-authored various books and journal publications that contribute to both the theoretical and applied aspects of statistics. His papers and statistical software developments have appeared in statistical and biostatistical journals, which have the top rated impact factors and are historically recognized as the leading scientific journals. Vexler was awarded a National Institutes of Health (NIH) grant to develop novel nonparametric data analysis and statistical methodology. The results of this effort can be found via a public access resource housed by the US National Library of Medicine.
Vexler has belonged to the first cohort of investigators that proposed and discovered novel density-based empirical likelihood methodology. He has introduced the density-based empirical likelihood approach for creating nonparametric test statistics that efficiently approximate optimal parametric Neyman-Pearson statistics using minimum distribution assumptions on data. Recently, several statistical academic books referred the density-based empirical likelihood methodology to classical statistical procedures.
Vexler is Associate Editor for Biometrics and Journal of Applied Statistics. These journals belong to the first cohort of academic literature related to the methodology of biostatistical and epidemiological research and clinical trials.
