Mathematical Sciences: Industry-Based Graduate Research Assistantships

小行星9508725 数学领域的产学研合作研究 科学是旨在建立数学交流机制的计划。 学术界和工业界之间的科学家在他们职业生涯的不同阶段。这些 计划将加强工业界和学术界之间的联系，并确定和 鼓励数学科学研究的新途径。基于大学 研究生研究助理奖学金为研究生提供了机会， 一部分时间在课堂上，一部分时间在工业环境中。这些 奖励是一种手段，有助于未来的科学努力的活力， 民族 吸烟与健康办公室（奥什）的一项重要职能是， 疾病控制和预防中心（CDC），是估计死亡人数， 吸烟归因死亡率（SAM）。 SAM是一个函数， 与吸烟相关的归因分数（AF）和死亡总数。 的 归因分数是与吸烟相关的相对危险度（RR）的函数 和吸烟率。在估计可持续农业方面的一个相关方法问题是 如何针对年龄、性别、种族等混杂因素适当调整SAM， 目前还不存在调整SAM的方法， 使用两个独立的数据源进行估计。这项研究的一个方面是研究一个 准似然估计方法。另一个研究领域将是研究 接触丙烯腈与特定原因死亡率之间的关系， 肺癌、脑癌、前列腺癌和胃癌。

9508725 Wierman The University-Industry Cooperative Research Programs in the Mathematical Sciences are programs designed to establish a mechanism for exchange of mathematical scientists between academia and industry at different stages of their careers. These programs will strengthen the links between industry and academia and identify and encourage new avenues of research in the mathematical sciences. The University-Based Graduate Research Assistantships provide the opportunity for graduate students to spend part of their time in the classroom and part of their time in an industrial setting. These awards are a means of contributing to the future vitality of the scientific effort of the nation. One important function of the Office on Smoking and Health (OSH), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), is to estimate the number of people who die each year from smoking, or smoking attributable mortality (SAM). SAM is a function of the attributable fraction (AF) associated with smoking and the total number of deaths. The attributable fraction, in turn, is a function of the relative risk (RR) associated with smoking and smoking prevalence. One of the relevant methodological issues in estimating SAM is how to properly adjust the SAM for confounding factors such as age, sex, race, occupation, etc. Methodology does not yet exist for adjusting the SAM when the SAM is estimated using two independent data sources. One aspect of this research is to study a quasi-likelihood based method of estimation. Another area of research will be a study of the relationship between exposure to acrylontrile and cause-specific mortality, particularly cancers of the lung, brain, prostate and stomach.
