Yucel has worked with investigators at the Methodology Center at Pennsylvania State University to develop a statistical methodology for analyzing incomplete multivariate multilevel data. He was awarded a fellowship by the American Statistical Association and the National Center for Health Statistics to develop and disseminate methods for handling item nonresponse in complex sample surveys.
