Domenic V. Cicchetti, Ph.D.

Senior Research Scientist and Biostatistician Child Study Center and Departments of Psychiatry and Epidemiology and Public Health in Biometry

Research Interests

While Dr. Cicchetti’s primary area of research focus is in the assessment of the reliability and accuracy of human judgment, across multiple areas of application in both biobehavioral and biomedical science, he has also developed and evaluated univariate and multivariate approaches to behavioral, medical, and biostatistical areas of application.
