This is a continuation of a summer REU site within the Statistics Department at Rice University for the study of Statistics and its applications. These efforts are led by the Principal Investigator Javier Rojo, Professor of Statistics. The objectives of the RUSIS will continue to be achieved through:Training and mentoring of 17 (12 NSF- and 5 NSA-supported) selected junior and senior underrepresented minority students and students with no easy access to a career experience at their institution through intensive core courses in probability, stochastic processes, and statistical inference, with special emphasis on areas of current interest. (e.g. multiple comparisons, extreme value theory, multivariate survival analysis, geophysics, statistical genetics, and general biostatistics). Engaging the students in research projects under close collaboration with the faculty mentors, and with the objective of producing joint publications. Students will present their results at national meetings and they will be mentored in the preparation and presentation of their talks. In addition, students meet with an advisory committee composed of top scientists and present their work to them. Short courses on the use of Unix platforms, latex, and software to be utilized for research purposes such as Mathematica and Splus;Visits to scientific facilities (e.g., Biomathematics and Biostatistics Depts at MD Anderson Cancer Center, NASA) have been organized and will be continued, and a series of lectures, by a variety of scientists, which are part of an AGEP funded program, will be attended. These lectures cover a variety of topics ranging from applying to Graduate School to career experiences by outstanding scientists.Evaluation and monitoring of the progress of students for seven years (expected time for them to finish graduate school) after their participation; annual evaluation of the program by the participating students and an external advisory committee.The length of RUSIS is 10 weeks for each of the three years. Undergraduate students with a mathematical background that includes three semesters of calculus, and one semester of linear algebra or matrix analysis, and who fall within the description of the first bullet item above, will be heavily recruited by the PI Javier Rojo (email: [e-mail] 713-348-2797) with the assistance of the Advisory Committee members, all of whom have extensive experience in engaging nontraditional students in careers in science and engineering. The application materials and information about the program may be downloaded fromhttp://www.stat.rice.edu/~jrojo

这是莱斯大学统计系内用于研究统计及其应用的夏季REU网站的延续。这些努力由首席调查员、统计学教授哈维尔·罗霍领导。该系统的目标将继续通过以下方式实现：培训和指导17名(12名国家科学基金会资助的和5名国家安全局资助的)被选中的初级和高级少数民族学生，以及通过强化的概率、随机过程和统计推断核心课程，特别强调当前感兴趣的领域，在其机构不容易获得职业经历的学生。(例如，多重比较、极值理论、多变量生存分析、地球物理学、统计遗传学和一般生物统计学)。让学生在与教师导师的密切合作下参与研究项目，并以制作联合出版物为目标。学生将在全国会议上展示他们的成果，他们将在演讲的准备和陈述过程中得到指导。此外，学生们还会与由顶尖科学家组成的顾问委员会会面，并向他们展示他们的工作。已组织并将继续举办关于Unix平台、LaTeX和用于研究目的的软件的短期课程；参观科学设施(例如，美国国家航空航天局MD Anderson癌症中心的生物数学和生物统计系)，并将参加各种科学家的一系列讲座，这些讲座是AGEP资助的计划的一部分。这些讲座涵盖了各种主题，从申请研究生院到杰出科学家的职业经历。评估和监测学生在参与后七年的进步(他们完成研究生院的预期时间)；参与学生和外部咨询委员会对项目的年度评估。RUIS的期限为三年中的每一年10周。具有三个学期微积分和一个学期线性代数或矩阵分析的数学背景的本科生，如果属于上述第一个项目的描述，将在咨询委员会成员的协助下被Pi Jille Rojo(电子邮件：[e-mail] 713-348-2797)大量招募，所有这些成员都在吸引非传统学生从事科学和工程职业方面拥有丰富的经验。申请材料和有关该计划的信息可从http://www.stat.rice.edu/~jrojo下载
