UNC researcher's work helps unfinished Boston Marathon runners find closure
Posted Apr 16, 2014
A year after the twin explosions at the Boston Marathon, a local statistics professor is helping the nearly 6,000 runners who never made it to the race's end get some closure. The Boston Athletic Association provided an estimated finish time for those runners but then reached out to Richard Smith, a statistician at UNC, to come up with a scientific formula to predict more accurately their likely finish times.
