Spatio-Temporal Hererogeneity Analysis and Modern Phytometry

今年的提案与2009年的提案是一致的，因为它建立在当前探索基金所取得的成果的基础上，同时包括了新的挑战和独特的研究和培训机会。从1992年12月起，我在植物科学系担任统计学教授，多年来一直影响着我的研究兴趣，特别是在2003年在NSERC和CFI的支持下(CT：计算机断层扫描)在麦吉尔的麦克唐纳校区创建了用于农业和环境研究的CT扫描实验室之后。我2009年和2014年的提案中的两个部分并不是不相交的；还有第二个部分是为了提高所研究的异质性的一些定量和统计方面的‘植物科学品味’。各部分之间有计划的研究和培训的比例仍然是2/3(时空异质性分析)和1/3(现代植物测量)。

This year’s proposal is in line with the 2009 one because it is built on the results obtained thanks to the current Discovery Grant, while including new challenges and unique research and training opportunities. My location in a plant science department as statistics professor since Dec. 1992 has influenced my research interests over the years, especially after the creation of the CT Scanning Laboratory for agricultural and environmental research on Macdonald Campus of McGill in 2003, thanks to NSERC and CFI support (CT: computed tomography). The two parts of my 2009 and 2014 proposals are not disjoint; there is a second part to enhance the ‘plant-science taste’ of some quantitative and statistical aspects of the heterogeneity studied. The ratio of planned research and training between the parts remains 2/3 (Spatio-Temporal Heterogeneity Analysis) and 1/3 (Modern Phytometry).
