Addona's area of research interest is Survival Analysis, a branch of
Biostatistics. Survival analysis is often used in studying the natural history of a
disease. Addonna published a paper (co-authored by his Ph.D. supervisor, Dr. David
Wolfson) which established a formal method to check that the incidence rate of a disease
has remained constant over time using cross-sectional data. Other areas of interest are
Bayesian methodology and sports statistics.
