Diane Marie Lambert is an American statistician known for her work on zero-inflated models, a method for extending Poisson regression to applications such as the statistics of manufacturing defects in which one can expect to observe a large number of zeros.[1] A former Bell Labs Fellow, she is a research scientist for Google, where she lists her current research areas as "algorithms and theory, data mining and modeling, and economics and electronic commerce".[2]
Lambert earned her Ph.D. in 1978 from the University of Rochester. Her dissertation, supervised by W. Jackson Hall, was P-Values: Asymptotics and Robustness.[3] In the early part of her career, she worked as a faculty member at Carnegie Mellon University. As an assistant professor there, she did pioneering work on the confidentiality of statistical information.[4] She earned tenure at Carnegie Mellon, but moved to Bell Labs in 1986. At Bell Labs, she became head of statistics, and a Bell Labs Fellow. She moved again to Google in 2005.[5][6]
Lambert became a Fellow of the American Statistical Association in 1991.[7] She is also a Fellow of the Institute of Mathematical Statistics,[8] was executive secretary of the institute from 1990 to 1993,[9] and was one of the institute's Medallion Lecturers in 1995.[10]
