Mathematical Sciences Research Equipment 1990

本项目为美国国家科学基金会数学科学部数学科学项目的科学计算研究设备项目。该计划支持购买专用于数学科学研究的专用计算设备。这些设备是几个研究项目所需要的，很难证明单独用于一个项目是合理的。国家科学基金会的支持与制造商的折扣和捐款以及提交提案的机构的大量费用分摊相结合。这个项目是学术、企业和政府合作支持数学科学基础研究的一个例子。该设备将用于支持北卡罗来纳大学教堂山分校统计系的五个研究项目：边界的非参数估计：有限样本性质，爱德华·卡尔斯坦的研究；非参数：理论与方法，范剑卿提出的研究；曲线估计中的变异性评估和平滑参数选择，J. Steven Marron提出的研究；估测失真，这是Gordon Simons提出的研究；环境时间序列，理查德·史密斯提出的研究。

This is a grant under the Scientific Computing Research Equipment for the Mathematical Sciences program of the Division of Mathematical Sciences of the National Sciences Foundation. This program supports the purchase of special purpose computing equipment dedicated to the conduct of research in the mathematical sciences. This equipment is required for several research projects and would be difficult to justify for one project alone. Support from the National Science Foundation is coupled with discounts and contributions from manufacturers and with substantial cost-sharing from the institutions submitting the proposal. This program is an example of academic, corporate, and government cooperation in the support of the basic research in the mathematical sciences. This equipment will be used to support five research projects in the Department Statistics of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill: nonparametric estimation of boundaries: finite-sample properties, research by Edward Carlstein; nonparametrics: theory and methodology, research proposed by Jianqing Fan; assessing variability and smoothing parameter selection in curve estimation, research proposed by J. Steven Marron; estimating distortion, research proposed by Gordon Simons; Environmental Time Series, research proposed by Richard Smith.
