Given this experience, he is familiar with accommodations in a variety of contexts. Areas in which Dr. Bailey has conducted and published research include medication adherence, prediction and behavioral intervention in chronic illness, functional assessment of problem behavior, and preference assessment.
As a complement to behavior analysis, Dr. Bailey uses his expertise in statistical decision science, including machine learning, to estimate the probabilities with which certain behaviors may occur. He has deployed statistical models in medicine and behavioral health. These models are used to inform efficient treatment. Dr. Bailey has substantial experience with exploratory data analysis and data organization. He can help clients identify valuable combinations of variables for data science projects involving human behavior. Dr. Bailey also has significant experience with group and single-subject (small N) research designs.
Prior to joining Exponent, Dr. Bailey served as a behavior analyst in a variety of roles. He served as a clinician for multiple companies who provided applied behavior analysis therapy for individuals with developmental disabilities.
