U.S.-Brazil Cooperative Research: Information Theoretic Methods in Statistics

该奖项将支持合作研究， 信息论在统计中的应用 D博士之间哥伦比亚大学的V. Gokhale 加州，滨江和鲁本克莱因博士的 国家科学计算实验室， 巴西里约热内卢。具体领域是 离散数据分析，包括列联表; 调查表的设计分析; 密度和分布函数;以及 在指定的约束下的参数。 该提案的一个独特之处是， 使几个突出的互动 来自美国和巴西的研究人员， 信息理论和统计学继续进行， 去合作。

This award will support collaborative research in applications of information theory in statistics between Dr. D. V. Gokhale of the University of California, Riverside and Dr. Ruben Klein of the Labratorio Nacional da Computacion Cientifica (LNCC), Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The specific areas are discrete data analysis including contingency tables; design analysis of questionnaires; approximations to density and distribution functions; and estimation of parameters under specified constraints. A unique feature of the proposal is that it will enable the interaction of several prominent researchers from the U.S. and Brazil with expertise in information theory and statistics to continue an on- going collaboration.
