Research Professor, ISR; Richard Remington Collegiate Professor of Biostatistics, School of Public Health; Professor of Statistics, LS&A

Little received a PhD in statistics from London University in the United Kingdom. His current research interests involve analysis of data with non-randomly missing values; analysis of repeated measures data with drop-outs; survey sampling focused on model-based methods for complex survey designs that are robust to misspecification and compared to the resulting inferences to classical methods based on the randomization distribution; environmental statistics and sample surveys in demography and economics; research on Alzheimer's disease, psychiatric epidemiology, and prevention research; and a longitudinal study of women of menopausal age.
