The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Mathematical Sciences awarded a $227,251 Project Grant to Florida State University to develop novel statistical methodology for scalable Bayesian inference without Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) techniques. The research aims to create a generalized conjugate multivariate (GCM) distribution framework that enables direct sampling from exact posterior distributions, particularly for high-dimensional spatio-temporal data prevalent across scientific disciplines. Key objectives include extending GCM and "Exact Posterior Regression" to new data types, incorporating multivariate spatio-temporal and multiscale spatial dependencies, and developing a scalable Bayesian hierarchical model that subsets data in an informative manner. The project will produce advancements in Bayesian statistics, as well as public-use software and training of graduate students, with the potential to substantially impact research across fields such as neuroscience, climatology, and official statistics that grapple with complex spatio-temporal processes. The award period runs from September 1, 2023 to August 31, 2025.
