Statistical and Applied Mathematical Sciences Institute

统计和应用数学科学研究所(SAMSI)是一个国家研究所，它融合了统计和数学思维，为基本的科学和社会问题创造了具有高度影响力的理论和方法。它通过促进和促进其核心学科--统计学、概率和应用数学--之间的合作，以及这些学科与物理、社会和工程科学以及其他量化学科(如计算机科学和运筹学)之间的合作来做到这一点。从研究生到博士后研究员到高级国际领导人，SAMSI在职业生涯的各个阶段都吸引了研究人员，他们从SAMSI那里获得了扩展的思维模式、新的视野和能量，以及使在那里发起的合作得以持续的动力。SAMSI在2017-2020年期间的项目范围满足了国家需求、统计和数学界的推动，以及潜在的高影响的科学机会。项目涉及天体物理和环境等背景下的海量数据集、医疗保健中的数据驱动决策、高维数据中结构的识别以及其他待识别的主题。广泛的教育和外联活动，特别侧重于本科生、教学机构的教职员工和代表性不足的少数群体，提高了公众对数学科学的重要性和成就的认识。SAMSI是一个国家研究所，旨在通过促进和支持统计学家、应用数学家和自然科学和社会科学研究人员之间的合作来促进科学和社会的发展。它的目标是解决最具挑战性和影响最深远的数据驱动问题，即将推出的关于天体物理和环境中的海量数据集、医疗保健中的数据驱动决策、识别高维数据中的结构以及社会科学中的计算建模等主题的计划就是例证。SAMSI通过将各级研究人员--学生、博士后研究员和高级领导--聚集在一起，组成团队，在SAMSI项目中取得实质性进展，并为未来的合作奠定基础。它激励处于职业生涯各个阶段的人们以不同的方式思考应用数学和统计学的作用和力量。一个充满活力的教育和推广计划利用萨姆西研究向本科生、教学学院的教授和普通公众展示数学科学的重要性和成就。在萨姆西人的活动中，努力增加未得到充分代表的少数群体对数学、统计和其他科学的参与。

The Statistical and Applied Mathematical Sciences Institute (SAMSI) is a national institute that merges statistical and mathematical thinking to create high impact theory and methodology for fundamental scientific and societal problems. It does so by catalyzing and nurturing collaborations both among its core disciplines -- statistics, probability, and applied mathematics -- and between those disciplines and the physical, social, and engineering sciences, as well as other quantitative disciplines such as computer science and operations research. SAMSI engages researchers at all career stages, from graduate students to postdoctoral fellows to senior international leaders, who take away from SAMSI expanded modes of thought, new vision and energy, and momentum enabling collaborations initiated there to persist. The spectrum of SAMSI's programs over the period 2017-2020 responds to national needs, impetus from the statistics and mathematics community, and scientific opportunities with potential high impact. Programs address massive datasets in contexts such as astrophysics and the environment, data-driven decisions in healthcare, identification of structure in high-dimensional data, as well as other topics to be identified. A broad range of education and outreach activities, focused especially on undergraduates, faculty in teaching institutions, and under-represented minorities, builds greater public awareness of the importance and achievements of the mathematical sciences. SAMSI is a national institute that exists to advance science and society by catalyzing and supporting collaborations among statisticians, applied mathematicians, and researchers in the natural and social sciences. Its goal is to tackle the most challenging and far-reaching data-driven problems, as exemplified by its forthcoming programs on such topics as massive datasets in astrophysics and the environment, data-driven decisions in healthcare, identifying structure in high-dimensional data, and computational modeling in the social sciences. SAMSI operates by bringing together researchers at all levels -- students, postdoctoral fellows, and senior leaders -- into teams that both make substantial progress within SAMSI programs and form the basis of future collaborations. It stimulates people at all stages of their careers to think differently about the roles and power of applied mathematics and statistics in concert with one another. A vibrant education and outreach program uses SAMSI research to present the importance and achievements of the mathematical sciences to undergraduates, professors at teaching colleges, and the general public. SAMSI activities are permeated by efforts to increase the participation of under-represented minorities in mathematics, statistics, and other sciences.
