Mathematical Sciences: Core Support of the Committee on Applied and Theoretical Statistics

应用和理论统计委员会(CATS)关注涉及和影响统计科学、统计教育和统计使用的问题。该委员会在统计界占有举足轻重的地位，在方法和政策制定方面提供专门知识。CATS的成员由国家研究理事会主席任命。这个项目是为猫提供核心资金。完全由核心资金支持的CATS活动包括：一次CATS会议，CATS参加年度数学科学系主席座谈会，所有CATS项目的发起和管理，以及对所有与CATS有关的活动的持续监督。这些建议包括向联邦机构提供研究方向的建议，以及关于统计科学教育、统计科学与其他领域的互动、统计科学的健康状况以及新兴研究方向的报告。

The Committee on Applied and Theoretical Statistics (CATS) is concerned with issues involving and affecting the statistical sciences, statistics education, and uses of statistics. The Committee occupies a pivotal position in the statistical community, providing expertise in methodology and policy formulation. Members of CATS are appointed by the Chairman of the National Research Council. This project is for core funding for CATS. CATS activities supported exclusively by core funding are: one CATS meeting, CATS participation in the annual Board on Mathematical Sciences Department Chairs Colloquium, the initiation and administration of all CATS projects, and continuous oversight of all CATS-related activities. These include giving recommendations on research directions to federal agencies and reports on education in the statistical sciences, interaction of the statistical sciences with other areas, the health of the statistical sciences, and emerging research directions.
