Statistical Challenges in Modern Astronomy III

该奖项为研究生和年轻研究人员提供资金，支持他们参加将于2001年7月18日至21日在宾夕法尼亚州大学公园的宾夕法尼亚州立大学举行的“现代经济学统计挑战III”会议。这次跨学科会议的主要焦点是应用先进的统计技术来分析天文学中的观测数据。会议的主题之一将是超大数据集和信息系统的统计方法。另一个主题是处理当前观测宇宙学革命产生的数据的统计方面。组委会和演讲者代表社区和跨学科的讨论是鼓励的。

This award provides funds to support graduate students and youngresearchers to attend the conference Statistical Challenges in ModernAstronomy III, to be held from July 18-21, 2001, at the PenssylvaniaState University, University Park, PA. The primary focus of thiscross-disciplinary conference is on applying advanced statisticaltechniques for the analysis of observational data in astronomy. One ofthe topics of the conference will be statistical methods for extremelylarge data sets and information systems. Another topic is statisticalaspects of dealing with data resulting from the current revolution inobservational cosmology. The organizing committee and speakers representboth communities and cross-disciplinary discussion is encouraged.
