This $155,372 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program will fund research to develop advanced statistical methods for extracting insights from high-dimensional, high-frequency "big data." The University of Illinois, Chicago, as the prime awardee, will focus on four key areas: 1) advancing contiguity theory to enable more robust statistical analysis of noisy, high-frequency data; 2) exploring time-varying...
This $250,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program supports research in two areas: (1) regularized optimal transport theory and (2) price impact modeling in financial markets. For the first part, the project investigates the mathematical foundations and theoretical guarantees for sparsity in quadratically regularized optimal transport. This builds on prior work on entropically regularized optimal transport....
This $350,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Mathematical Sciences under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports collaborative research to develop cost-efficient and confidence-building sampling methods for modern scientific discovery. The award to the Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT) aims to create a framework featuring new methodologies, theory, and algorithms that extend classical low-discrepancy sampling...
This $268,602 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports an interdisciplinary research project led by the Regents of the University of Michigan. The research aims to develop new mathematical tools based on partial differential equations (PDEs) and apply them to address practical challenges in mathematical finance and game theory. Key focus areas include: 1) using infinite-dimensional PDEs to demonstrate...
The Carnegie Mellon University was awarded a $300,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Mathematical Sciences to support research focusing on long-term investing in high-dimensional open markets. The three-year award, made on August 1, 2022, will fund analysis of explicit, tractable models of open markets where the set of available assets can vary over time. In particular, the research will advance understanding of recently developed hybrid and rank Jacobi models,...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $282,055 Project Grant to the University of Chicago under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075). The three-year award will support the development of a new macro-finance model integrating a standard New Keynesian model of monetary policy with a model of risk discounts in financial markets based on habit formation preferences. The computational platform created under this award will allow researchers to analyze the...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $167,923 will support research to advance mathematical theorems for extreme value and risk measurement in robust intelligence. Funded under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070), this award will develop new high-dimensional risk measures, risk sharing, and risk aggregation methods for analyzing big data with heavy tails. The research activities will include integrating copula, extreme value theory, and...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $219,268 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program to the University of Chicago. The grant, effective July 1, 2024 through June 30, 2027, will support collaborative research on "Statistical Inference for High Dimensional and High Frequency Data: Contiguity, Matrix Decompositions, Uncertainty Quantification." The research aims to develop advanced mathematical and statistical methodologies to extract...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award for $106,291, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), will support research to extend classical extreme value theory to models with interdependent numerical values and mean-field interaction. The project aims to study the convergence of upper and intermediate order statistics of certain systems of stochastic differential equations as their size grows, with applications in finance, medicine, and other...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $252,937 Project Grant under its Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to the University of Chicago. The purpose of this 3-year grant, which runs from September 1, 2023 to August 31, 2026, is to enhance statistical methods for analyzing temporally observed, multi-sample data in fields such as environmental science, epidemiology, and economics. The research team will develop innovative approaches to estimate and infer trends in data...
