Mathematical Sciences Research Equipment 1989

本项目为美国国家科学基金会数学科学部数学科学项目的科学计算研究设备项目。该计划支持购买专用于数学科学研究的专用计算设备。这些设备是几个研究项目所需要的，很难证明单独用于一个项目是合理的。国家科学基金会的支持与制造商的折扣和捐款以及提交提案的机构的大量费用分摊相结合。这个项目是学术、企业和政府合作支持数学科学基础研究的一个例子。该设备将用于支持宾夕法尼亚州立大学统计学系的五个项目：由c.r. Rao和Gutti Jogesh Babu指导的相对风险比率和EIV模型的Bootstrap方法；分类数据模型中的潜在类、经验贝叶斯和随机效应，由Clifford Clogg和Bruce Lindsay执导；基于等压回归原理的模式选择下的统计推断，导演：Thomas hettmanspberger和Robert Kelly；基于等级的删减数据回归推理，导演：Michael Akritas和Yvonne Zubovic；《统计理论在生态学问题中的发展与应用》，由Ganapati P. Patil和Marllyn Boswell主持。

This is a grant under the Scientific Computing Research Equipment for the Mathematical Sciences program of the Division of Mathematical Sciences of the National Science Foundation. This program supports the purchase of special purpose computing equipment dedicated to the conduct of research in the mathematical sciences. This equipment is required for several research projects and would be difficult to justify for one project alone. Support from the National Science Foundation is coupled with discounts and contributions from manufacturers and with substantial cost-sharing from the institutions submitting the proposal. This program is an example of academic, corporate, and government cooperation in the support of basic research in the mathematical sciences. This equipment will be used to support five projects in the Department of Statistics at Pennsylvania State University: Bootstrap Methods for Relative Risk Ratios and EIV Models, directed by C. R. Rao and Gutti Jogesh Babu; Latent Classes, Empirical Bayes, and Random Effects in Models for Categorical Data, directed by Clifford Clogg and Bruce Lindsay; Statistical Inference Under Patterned Alternatives Based on the Principle of Isotonic Regression, directed by Thomas Hettmansperger and Robert Kelly; Rank-Based Inference for Regression with Censored Data, directed by Michael Akritas and Yvonne Zubovic; and Development and Applications of Statistical Theory to Problems in Ecology, directed by Ganapati P. Patil and Marllyn Boswell.
