Rice University Summer Institute of Statistics -- REU Site

莱斯大学夏季统计研究所(RUIS)将培训和指导12名选定的低年级和高级少数民族学生，以及在其机构难以获得职业经历的学生。该研究所的根本动机是吸引更多未被充分代表的少数族裔学生从事数学和统计科学的研究生工作，并促进他们过渡到研究工作。这些目标将通过以下机制实现：-强化概率、随机过程和统计推理的核心课程，特别强调当前感兴趣的领域。(例如，多重比较、极值理论、多元生存分析、统计遗传学和海量数据方法论)。-与教师导师密切合作，让学生参与研究项目，目标是制作联合出版物。将指导学生准备他们的工作，以便在全国会议上发表。-关于Unix平台、LaTeX和用于研究目的的软件的短期课程，如数学和sPlus。-将组织参观科学设施(例如，MD Anderson癌症中心、NASA、壳牌石油公司的生物数学和生物统计学部门)，并将参加各种科学家的一系列讲座，这些讲座是AGEP资助的计划的一部分。这些讲座涵盖了各种主题，从申请研究生院到杰出科学家的职业经历。-评估和监测学生在参与后七年的进步(他们完成研究生院的预期时间)；参与学生和外部咨询委员会对项目的年度评估。RUSIS是一个为期10周的暑期项目。如果学生的数学背景包括三学期微积分和一学期线性代数或矩阵分析，请联系皮哈维尔·罗霍(电子邮件：jrojo@rice.edu 713-348-2797)或特里萨·查特曼(tlc@rice.edu 713-348-5180)。

The Rice University Summer Institute of Statistics (RUSIS) will train and mentor 12 selected junior and senior underrepresented minority students, and students with no easy access to a career experience at their institution. The underlying motivation for the Institute is the fundamental interest in attracting more underrepresented minority students into graduate work in the Mathematical and Statistical Sciences, and facilitating their transition into research work. These objectives will be accomplished through the following mechanisms:-Intensive core courses in probability, stochastic processes, and statistical inference, with special emphasis on areas of current interest. (e.g. multiple comparisons, extreme value theory, multivariate survival analysis, statistical genetics, and massive data methodologies). -Engaging the students in research projects under close collaboration with faculty mentors, with the goal of producing joint publications. Students will be mentored in the preparation of their work for presentation in national meetings.- Short courses on the use of Unix platforms, latex, and software to be utilized for research purposes such as Mathematica and Splus.-Visits to scientific facilities (e.g., Biomathematics and Biostatistics Departments at MD Anderson Cancer Center, NASA, Shell Oil) will be organized, and a series of lectures, by a variety of scientists, which are part of an AGEP funded program, will be attended. These lectures cover a variety of topics ranging from applying to Graduate School to career experiences by outstanding scientists.-Evaluation and monitoring of the progress of students for seven years (expected time for them to finish graduate school) after their participation; annual evaluation of the program by the participating students and an external advisory committee.RUSIS is a 10-week summer program. Students with a mathematical background that includes three semesters of calculus, and one semester of linear algebra or matrix analysis, should contact the PI Javier Rojo (email: jrojo@rice.edu 713-348-2797) or Theresa Chatman (tlc@rice.edu 713-348-5180).
