Kyle Cox
Kyle Cox is an assistant professor of educational research, measurement, and evaluation at University of North Carolina at Charlotte where he teaches graduate level statistics and research methods courses. His research focuses on improving the feasibility of multilevel studies through design improvements and analytic advancements. This work is applicable across the social sciences as the methods accommodate natural hierarchical structures and complex theories but Kyle is most interested in their application in educational settings. Specifically, Kyle has investigated statistical power in experimental multilevel mediation and moderation studies and is interested in improving the estimation of structural equation models when sample sizes are limited. Prior to joining UNC Charlotte in 2019, Kyle earned his doctorate in quantitative research methodology at the University of Cincinnati after nearly a decade of teaching 6th grade math.
