Profile:
Accepting students? Dr. Tofighi is not accepting students for Fall 2023.
The overall goal of my research is to develop, enhance, and evaluate the state-of-the-art mathematical and statistical methods that are widely used to model real-world, complex psychological, educational, and health phenomenon. My substantive research focuses on the application of statistical methods to model causal and developmental processes in health and prevention science.
