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。该设备将用于支持明尼苏达大学统计学院的五个研究项目：计算密集型诊断统计，研究人员是Cook， Hawkins和Weisberg；贝叶斯残差分析、预测诊断和异常值检测，研究者是Chaloner和Geisser；环境统计计算和动态图形，研究者是Tierney；松弛边界平滑样条和数据分析，研究者是Larntz和Oehlert；非参数问题的狄利克雷方法，研究者是Dickey， Lane和Pruitt。

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 School of Statistics of the University of Minnesota, Minneapolis: computationally intensive diagnostic statistics, the investigators are Cook, Hawkins, and Weisberg; Bayesian residual analysis, predictive diagnostics, and outlier detection, the investigators are Chaloner and Geisser; environments for statistical computing and dynamic graphics, the investigator is Tierney; relaxed boundary smoothing splines and data analysis, the investigators are Larntz and Oehlert; Dirichlet approaches to nonparametric problems, the investigator are Dickey, Lane, and Pruitt.
