Mathematical Sciences Research Equipment 1990

这是国家科学基金会数学科学部数学科学计划科学计算研究设备项目的一项资助。该计划支持购买专门用于进行数学科学研究的专用计算设备。这种设备是几个研究项目所需要的，很难单独为一个项目辩护。国家科学基金会的支持伴随着制造商的折扣和贡献，以及提交提案的机构的大量费用分摊。该项目是学术、企业和政府合作支持数学科学基础研究的一个范例。这些设备将用于支持哈佛大学统计系的五个研究项目：微生物学中的统计学问题，赫尔曼·切尔诺夫主任；纵向数据分析方法，亚瑟·邓普斯特主任；危险图形比较，谢尔·多克森主任；应用多参数推理方法和计算机图形学，卡尔·莫里斯主任；通过模拟应用贝叶斯推理，导演唐纳德·鲁宾。

This is a grant under the Scientific Computing Research Equipment for the Mathematical Sciences program of the Division of Mathematical Sciences of the National Sciences 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 the basic research in the mathematical sciences. This equipment will be used to support five research projects in the Department of Statistics of Harvard University: statistical issues in microbiology, director Herman Chernoff; methods for the analysis of longitudinal data, director Arthur Dempster; graphical comparisons of hazards, director Kjell Doksum; applied multiparameter inferential methods and computer graphics, director Carl Morris; applied Bayesian inference via simulation, director Donald Rubin.
