Mick
O'Neill graduated with First Class Honours
from the University of Sydney, specialising in
Mathematical Statistics. He completed his PhD as an
Assistant Lecturer in that Department, and in 1976
accepted a lectureship in Biometry in the Faculty of
Agriculture, from where he recently retired as Associate
Professor. His early interests were in multivariate
analysis and contingency tables. More recently he has
focused on statistical and biological modelling of seed
germination, and on technical aspects of residual
analysis (such as testing for variance heterogeneity).
Since 1970 he has mixed his
teaching and research activities with statistical
consulting to the agricultural profession, to industry
and the wider community. He has run many short courses
during this period, for example to the Australian
Institute of Agricultural Science and Technology and to Sydney Water.
Mick has a keen interest in
Asia, having trained several young Indonesian academics to
PhD. He has conducted many short courses in Indonesia
and Laos for the Australian Centre for
International Agricultural Research and other
organisations.
For these courses he used what is now the Discovery
Edition of GenStat. Mick is a Certified GenStat Trainer.

Maryann
O'Donnell completed a
Diploma in Biological Sciences after completing her HSC.
She worked as a microbiologist for 12 years before
returning to university. She completed her BScAgr at the
University of Sydney, gaining First Class Honours in
Biometry. Despite invitations to pursue post-graduate
studies in America, Maryann decided to remain in
Australia, and is currently enrolled in a PhD, examining
statistical and biological aspects of seed germination.
Maryann worked for short periods in
BiometricsSA (Adelaide) and the Biometrics unit, NSW
Department of Primary Industries (Wagga Wagga). She won
several awards during her undergraduate degree, and has
special interest in the design of experiments.
Maryann has been involved in
short courses in applied statistics and in clinical
trials in Indonesia. She has tutored in biometry for
several years, and enjoys providing biometrical advice
to staff in students in Australia and in Indonesia.
Maryann is a Certified GenStat Trainer.

Consultants
Several consultant statisticians are
available to assist you in analysing and interpreting your data.
These include:
- Dave
Grayson. Dave continues as an active consultant
statistician since taking early retirement as Associate
Professor in Quantitative Methods in the Department of
Psychology at the University of Sydney. His early university
training was interrupted while he served in Vietnam as a
conscript in the Royal Australian Infantry. He returned to
university and was awarded First Class Honours and a PhD in
Psychology. He has published extensively during a
distinguished career, specialising in factor analysis,
structural equation models and psychometrics.

- Peter Thomson.
Peter worked
for a number of years in Biometry at the University of
Sydney before moving into the Faculty of Veterinary Science,
where he is currently Associate Professor. His initial
studies were at the University of
Sydney
with
a BSc majoring Zoology and Mathematical Statistics, followed
by a research MSc (small mammal population ecology) and
MAppStat at Macquarie University, and then a PhD at Sydney
University, researching statistical models in neurobiology.
He has also worked in the School of Public Health at the
University of Sydney in epidemiology and biostatistics. He
currently specialises in statistical genetics, especially in
animal genetics, although he is comfortable in any applied
statistical field.
