Professor Emeritus of Statistics,
Ph.D., Oklahoma State University, 1962

Summary of research interests

Dr. Antle is interested in developing and evaluating statistical methods for the analysis of the results from clinical trials. He develops methods for assigning the treatments so that when one of two or more treatments in a trial appears to be better, it will be assigned a larger share of the patients in the trial.

Dr. Antle also studies the application of Bayes and empirical Bayes methods to problems in a wide variety of fields. He is interested in problems in operations research, in particular those that employ the methods of mathematical programming or Bayesian analyses.
