Report summary

University of Florida Department of Biostatistics in 2015-2026 reads as a 40-PI network with 46 internal PI collaborations. The research center of gravity is Mathematics as the leading field (21% of slots across 17 PIs; 17 labels), Molecular Biology as the leading subfield (13% of slots across 12 PIs; 12 labels), and COVID-19 epidemiological studies as the leading topic (4% of slots across 5 PIs; 5 labels). That is promising: collaboration is not just one large hairball, and the leading breakdown groups cover 18 PIs across distinct clusters. The most prominent PIs by weighted works are Melissa J. Armstrong (59.6 weighted works; Alzheimer's disease research and treatments, Dementia and Cognitive Impairment Research); Peihua Qiu (50 weighted works; Advanced Statistical Process Monitoring, Advanced Statistical Methods and Models). The strongest pairings are Ira M. Longini and Natalie E. Dean (24 shared works, weight 8.7); Peihua Qiu and Kai Yang (8 shared works, weight 7.5). The strongest breakdown groups are group 1 with 9 PIs, 8 internal connections, weight 21.2, around Statistics and Probability, Statistics, Probability and Uncertainty, Artificial Intelligence, led by Peihua Qiu, Guogen Shan, Stephen D.
