As a researcher in the Department of Statistics, Dr. Yamamura is studying the excess relative risk (ERR) and excess absolute risk (EAR) models which are one of the major statistical tools used at RERF. In collaborative work, she co-authored a paper on cancer incidence in kidney, bladder and other urinary tract, and is currently involved in research to assess radiation effect on development of cataracts, which requires attention to important statistical issues of correlative between the left and right eyes of the same person and missing data analysis. She is also involved in the application of multi-state models in the analysis for the clinical study of the F1 offspring of A-bomb survivors. Dr. Yamamura is also conducting research in the application of spatio-temporal analysis methods to of radiation risk estimation and is conducting theoretical research using sparse estimation from the perspective of mathematical statistics, research that is supported by JSPS KAKENHI Grant Number 20H04151.
