Advanced Geostatistical Studies at the Centre de Geostatistique, Ecole des Mines de Paris

巴黎矿业学院地质统计中心的高级地质统计学研究：该奖项是根据美国-工业化国家科学家和工程师交流计划提出的，1987/1988年度比赛。该计划旨在使美国科学家和工程师能够在西欧工业化国家以及日本、澳大利亚和新西兰的研究机构进行长期研究。交流奖为开展联合研究和利用外国独特或互补的设施、专门知识和实验条件提供了机会。奖项的评选依据是与其所在科学领域有关的科学标准、申请者未来的专业发展潜力以及与进一步促进科学和工程领域的国际合作有关的标准。该计划特别针对正在开始他们的研究生涯的科学家和工程师。本研究项目旨在将析取克立格法纳入到方差缩减分析中(由提出者开发的一种地质统计学抽样方案)。这种扩展使程序能够识别具有任何分布的随机变量的最佳采样点序列。它将尝试将该算法扩展到时空域，以适用于水科学中的大多数物理过程。该项目由美国亚特兰大佐治亚理工学院土木工程学院鲁哈尼教授和法国枫丹白露高等矿业学院玛格丽特·阿姆斯特朗教授和法国枫丹白露77305号圣奥诺雷街35号巴黎高等矿业学院的玛格丽特·阿姆斯特朗教授领导。这项奖励建议提供资金，酌情支付国际旅行、当地出国旅行、津贴、家属津贴(如果适用)、语言培训(如果需要)，以及为美国本土机构提供250美元的固定行政津贴。

Advanced Geostatistical Studies at the Centre de Geostatistique, Ecole des Mines de Paris: This award recommendation is made under the U.S.-Industrialized Countries Program for the Exchange of Scientists and Engineers, 1987/1988 Competition. The program is designed to enable U.S. scientists and engineers to conduct long-term research at research institutions in the industrialized countries of Western Europe as well as Japan, Australia and New Zealand. Exchange awards provide opportunities for the conduct of joint research and the utilization of unique or complementary facilities, expertise and experimental conditions in foreign countries. Awards are selected on the basis of scientific criteria relevant to his/her field of science, the prospective potential of the applicants for professional growth, as well as criteria relevant to the furthering of international cooperation in science and engineering. The program is particularly directed to scientists and engineers who are embarking on their research careers. This research project aims at incorporating the disjunctive kriging into the variance reduction analysis (a geostatistical sampling scheme developed by the proposer). This expansion enables the program to identify the optimal sequence of sampling points for random variables with any distribution. It will be attempted to expand this algorithm to the time-space domain to be applicable to most physical processes in water science. The project is under the direction of Professor Shahrokh, Rouhani, School of Civil Engineering, Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, GA 30332, U.S.A., and Professor Margaret Armstrong, Ecole Nationale Superieure des Mines de Paris, 35, rue Saint-Honore, 77305 Fontainebleau, France. This award recommendation provides funds to cover, as appropriate, international travel, local travel abroad, stipend, dependents allowance, if applicable, language training, if required, and a flat administrative allowance of $250 for the U.S. home institution.
