Mr. Adimias Wendimagegn | Data Science | Best Researcher Award

Kotebe University of Education | Ethiopia

Mr. Adimias Wendimagegn is a data scientist and biostatistician specializing in statistical modeling, distribution theory, and applications in public health. His research primarily focuses on advanced regression frameworks, including classical and Bayesian modeling approaches under GAMLSS and BAMLSS structures. He has introduced novel models such as the Alpha Power Transformed Beta (APTBeta) regression for analyzing antenatal care utilization and developed methodological frameworks for Gamma and Beta-type distributions. He has published multiple peer-reviewed journal articles indexed in Scopus and Web of Science, contributing significantly to statistical theory and biostatistical applications. His works include studies on antenatal care utilization, maternal age at first birth, and advanced distributional models for proportion data. He is also the author of two academic books published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing, covering joint modeling of longitudinal and survival data and determinants of teenage fertility in Ethiopia. His scholarly contributions extend to the development of R packages for regression modeling and diagnostics, enhancing reproducibility and accessibility in statistical analysis. Mr. Adimias Wendimagegnserves as a reviewer for leading international journals such as PLOS ONE and Value in Health, and his publications have received multiple citations reflecting his growing impact in the field. Through his research, he continues to advance innovative statistical methodologies and their applications in health and demographic studies.
