Mathematical Sciences Computing Research Environments

弗吉尼亚理工学院和州立大学的统计学系将购买专门用于支持数学科学研究的设备。另外，支持兼职系统程序员/分析师两年。计划的项目解决图形表示（可视化）和数值方法计算和模拟的问题。其中两个项目涉及贝叶斯计算方法的发展，这通常是计算密集型的，需要最先进的数值、符号和图形计算能力。第二个区域是非参数密度估计和非参数回归的区域。最后，兴趣集中在高度交互式动态图形方法的开发上。

The Department of Statistics at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University will purchase equipment that will be dedicated to support research in the mathematical sciences. Additionally, support of a half-time system programmer/analyst for two years. The planned projects address issues in graphical representations (visualization) and numerical methodological computations and simulations. Two of the projects involve the development of Bayesian computational methods which are generally computationally intensive and require state-of-the-art numerical, symbolic, and graphical computing capabilities. A second area is the area of nonparametric density estimation and nonparametric regression. Finally, interest is focused on the development of highly interactive dynamic graphical methods.
