This federal Project Grant award in the amount of $180,000.00 was provided by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Mathematical Sciences (CFDA 47.049 - Mathematical and Physical Sciences) to the University of Southern California (USC) Department of Contracts and Grants. The award will fund a 3-year research project to advance statistical analysis and practical approximation of fundamental statistical concepts, such as averages and quantiles, with a focus on measure-valued data. The research agenda includes three main projects: 1) developing a new regularized formulation of the Wasserstein barycenter and conducting statistical analysis; 2) establishing asymptotic distribution and bootstrap consistency results for linear functionals of optimal transport maps; and 3) exploring applications of the methodology to dimension reduction and vector quantile regression. This research aims to expand the practical applications of optimal transport theory in statistics and machine learning, while also providing research training opportunities for graduate students. No sub-awards are planned under this grant.
