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 $309,960 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program will fund a research project at the University of Chicago to improve the methodology for testing coefficients in linear regressions. The project will develop new test methods that are robust to assumptions about error term distributions and sample size, allowing for more precise coefficient estimates. This research aims to enhance decision-making,...
The University of Chicago was awarded a $550,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Chemistry under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to support research using multiconfiguration pair-density functional theory for spectroscopy and photochemistry from August 1, 2021 through July 31, 2024.
