Nonparametric data analysis in statistical science

技术的变化使收集新类型的数据成为可能，这些数据往往比以往任何时候都更加复杂和数量更大，并从根本上改变了需要向这些数据提出的问题的类型。该研究方案将开发新的统计方法来分析新类型的数据，例如功能数据和多维数据，并将对涉及更传统数据类型的问题提出大大改进的解决方案。这些技术将在不同的领域有关键的应用。该项目将极大地促进统计科学这一具有重要战略意义的领域的能力建设，该领域对澳大利亚具有重要价值，但长期存在技能短缺的问题。

Changes in technology have enabled new types of data to be collected, often more complex and in much larger quantities than ever before, and altered fundamentally the types of questions that need to be asked of those data. The research program will develop new statistical methods for analysing new types of data, for example functional data and data with many dimensions, and will also introduce greatly improved solutions to problems that involve more conventional data types. These techniques will have critical applications to diverse fields. The program will contribute substantially to capacity building in a strategically important area, statistical science, of great value to Australia but where chronic skills shortages exist.
