Judith T. Lessler is an American statistician and expert on survey methodology, particularly on surveys relating to health and epidemiology.[1]
Lessler was born in Charlotte, North Carolina, and grew up on a farm in Iredell County, North Carolina.[2] She earned her Ph.D. in 1974 at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Her dissertation, A Double Sampling Scheme Model for Eliminating Measurement Process Bias and Estimating Measurement Errors in Surveys, was jointly supervised by Daniel G. Horvitz and Gary Grove Koch.[3]
She worked as a statistician for RTI International, the Battelle Memorial Institute, and National Center for Health Statistics, before retiring to operate a consulting business and run an organic farm on the Alston-DeGraffenried Plantation historic site in Chatham County, North Carolina.[1][4]
With William D. Kalsbeek, Lessler is the author of Nonsampling Error in Surveys (Wiley, 1992).[5] She was elected as a Fellow of the American Statistical Association in 1992.[6] She is also a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.[1]
