Professional Experience:

(1) Scientist, USDA Forest Service, Pacific Southwest Station, Berkeley,

CA. 1967-1996

(2) 1982-90: Lead scientist and project leader, Improved Technology for

Integrated Management of Western Forest Insects Project (PSW-2203),

USDA Forest Service, Pacific Southwest Station, Berkeley, CA. Designed

and developed experiments to provide data for models simulating the effects

of IPM strategies used for western spruce budworm and Douglas-fir tussock

moth. Investigated physiological factors responsible for co-evolution of

mountain pine beetle and western pine beetle and their host tree species.

Designed statistical studies to ensure a firm basis for the construction and

validation of simulation or prediction models for management strategies.

Began development of population toxicology (now called eco-toxicology) as

a means to estimate effects of chemicals in the field, based on results of

laboratory data. Continued investigations of response to multiple

explanatory variables.

(3) 1990 - 1998: Project Leader and Senior Scientist, Insect Genetics,

Biochemistry, and Biometry Project (PSW-2206), US Forest Service (Pacific

Southwest Station, Albany, CA). Designed and developed basic studies of

biochemical and genetic indicators of forest insect population status,

interactions of bark beetles and defoliators with tree species, and effects of

secondary plant chemicals on success of infestation. Participated in use of

molecular-genetic methods to trace points of entry of Tomicus piniperda into

the US; initiated world-wide collections of this exotic bark beetle to identify

point(s) of origin. Initiated development of statistical definition of chemical

resistance; this investigation was essential to avoid confounding factors such

as natural variation in response for resistance to a given chemical. With

collaborators, continued development of ecotoxicology as a specialty

area.

(4) 1997- present. As entomologist for LeOra Software, continued

development of user-friendly computer programs for biologists

whose data are collected in bioassays with one or more

explanatory variables. These programs include PoloPlus,

PoloDose, PoloMix, and PoloEncore. PoloPlus computes probit

(or logit) quantal regression analyses and conducts automatic tests

4

of the hypotheses of parallelism and equality. Several features

enhance the program’s use in toxicological and pharmaceutical

testing. First, lethal dose ratios are estimated for statistical

comparison of each preparation with a standard. Second,

standardized residuals are calculated. Third, residuals are

displayed in plots for identification of sources of lack-of-fit to the

probit or logit model. Fourth, a fitted response curve for each

preparation can be plotted. Finally, a Probit 9 (LD 99.9968) can be

estimated to meet the requirements of the United States

Department of Agriculture and regulatory agencies of other

nations. PoloEncore extends the methods of PoloPlus to binary

response models with multiple explanatory variables. Such models

are rather common in bioassays with chemicals such as pesticides

and pharmaceuticals. They provide an efficient means to use a

single experiment to test the significance of more than one

variable (such as dose) on response.

PoloMix uses a chi-square statistic to test the hypothesis of

independent joint action. This test is done by obtaining an

estimate for the probability of mortality p for several dose or

concentration levels of the two components and then comparing

the estimate of p with the observed proportion killed at the

corresponding dose levels. The three contributions to p are

estimated separately. First, p0 is calculated as the proportional

mortality observed in the control group. Next, p1 and p2 are

estimated from bioassays of component 1 and component 2, with

data analyzed with PoloPlus. The chi-square test statistic is then

calculated. Finally, PoloDose is a designed specifically for the

study of dose placement and sample size for any dose that would

cause mortality greater than zero and less than 100%. PoloDose

calculates the length of the confidence interval for µ0, the dose

level that produces a certain probability of response P0, where

0<P0<1. The program is written to assist in the selection of the

optimal doses to use in a bioassay that involves binary (e.g., dead

vs. alive) response. The results of the bioassay can then be

analyzed by PoloPlus.

(5) 2001-2007. Completed revision of Bioassays with Arthropods.

This second edition was described by one reviewer as the most

humorous statistical textbook ever written. In a recent review in

5

The Journal of Economic Entomology, Dr. Denny Bruck puts it

this way: “In the preface, Jacqueline L. Robertson outlines the

authors’ desire to write a textbook that enhances readability and

keeps readers interested in the subject matter. Mission

accomplished!” The third edition of this book (starring the same

cast and whoever else I dream up) will be completed when the

PoloTime computer program will be finished by 2013.
