This $279,983 National Science Foundation project grant supports research at Brown University to develop hybrid statistical and econometric modeling methods. Funded under the NSF Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program, the three-year award beginning August 2022 aims to advance modeling approaches that account for imperfect data measurement and the reality that models approximate rather than perfectly represent the world. The research will modify method-of-moments techniques to handle imperfectly measured data, provide formal methods for accounting for model complexity based on data availability, and develop forecasting combining predictions from multiple plausible models. Graduate students will participate in the research, and computer programs implementing the new methods will be made publicly available, potentially benefiting diverse fields employing statistical modeling like medicine, weather forecasting, and program evaluation.
