W.J. Youden Award in Interlaboratory Testing

The W. J. Youden Award was established in 1985 to recognize the authors of publications that make outstanding contributions to the design and/or analysis of interlaboratory tests or describe ingenious approaches to the planning and evaluation of data from such tests.

The award is for the paper “Multi-study Factor Analysis,” published jointly with Ruggero Bellio (University of Udine), Lorenzo Trippa (Harvard University), and Giovanni Parmigiani (Harvard University).The paper aims to combine multiple studies and understand the cross-study reproducibility of signals in multivariate data.
