Rate My Professor Trent Gaugler

As a statistician specializing in applied statistics problems, Gaugler collaborates with researchers across disciplines on complex data analysis using computational statistics, linear mixed models, resampling methods, and simulation-based approaches. His publications include 'Most genetic risk for autism resides with common variation' in Nature Genetics (2014), 'Relationship quality and 5-year mortality risk' in Health Psychology (2020), 'Bridging information domains to improve ecological understanding of biological invasions in a marine ecosystem' in Conservation Biology (2020), 'Incorporating Freeze Dried Strawberry Powder into a High-fat Meal Does Not Alter Postprandial Vascular Function or Blood Markers of Cardiovascular Risk' in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition (2017), and 'Are mnemonic failures and benefits two sides of the same coin?' in Memory & Cognition (2019). At Lafayette, he teaches applied statistics, probability, and mathematical statistics courses using real-world data. Gaugler has delivered invited lectures such as 'Resampling Methods: Why the Bootstrap and Jackknife Are Your Friends' at Muhlenberg College (2013) and Lafayette College (2014), and has advised senior honors theses, EXCEL scholars, and student research projects.
