Theory and application of computer-intensive, nonparametric statistical methods

越来越强大的计算设备的可用性继续对统计方法和思维产生巨大影响。 这些发展，加上生成数据的新技术，正在推动统计发生重大变化，从正在解决的问题类型到解决问题所用的方法种类。 这些问题及其解决办法对国家和社区都有重大利益。 它们将成为本提案所支持的高级别研究的主题。

The availability of increasingly powerful computing equipment continues to have a dramatic impact on statistical methods and thinking. These developments, combined with new technologies for generating data, are driving substantial changes in statistics, ranging from the types of problems being solved to the sorts of methods used to solve them. Both the problems and their solutions are of substantial national and community benefit. They will be the subject of high-level research supported by this proposal.
