Joshua Valor Snoke

Joshua Snoke is an associate statistician at RAND. Prior to joining RAND, his research focused on increasing researchers’ access to data restricted due to privacy concerns, both through the release of synthetic datasets and the enabling of model estimation across remote partitioned databases. His work, both privacy related and otherwise, has involved a variety of administrative datasets, such as from the U.S. Census Bureau, the UK Administrative Data Research Network, the U.S. Army Recruiting Command, and the American Educator Panels. His methodological interests include estimation, model selection, non-parametric modeling and classification, machine learning, and causal inference. Snoke received his Ph.D. in Statistics with a graduate minor in Social Data Analytics from the Pennsylvania State University. He received his B.S. in Mathematics and Economics from Wheaton College.
