I have PhD in data mining from the UK. At present, I am academic staff at the University of Leeds, Leeds Institute of Health Science. I have many years’ experience in teaching and research in classification and predictive modeling. My current research involves Machine learning and the use primary/secondary care Database to evaluate long-term outcomes. I conduct research using longitudinal and cross-sectional studies in terms of; for example, structural equation models (SEM), latent growth models, diagnostic and prognostic analysis models. I perform and validate machine learning methods (supervised and supervised learning), such as: discriminant analysis, elastic-net, LASSO, logistic regression, PLS, neural network, vector support machine and clustering. I use R, SPSS and STATA programs in conducting statistical analysis for research and teaching. Moreover, I have considerable experience in Meta-Analysis. I speak Arabic and English languages.
