The University of Pittsburgh will use $235,948 in funding from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program to support the project "New Frontiers of Robust Statistics in the Era of Big Data" from July 2021 through June 2024. Through this Project Grant award, the University will advance understanding and methodology in robust statistics, an area of mathematics focused on developing statistical techniques that are not overly impacted by outliers or anomalies in data sets. In line with the NSF's goal of strengthening the nation's scientific enterprise, this funding will increase knowledge and enhance comprehension of challenges involving large and complex data through statistical research projects led by the University over the three-year period.
