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 meaningful information and insights from "big data" characterized by high dimensionality and high data generation frequencies. The work will focus on four key areas: contiguity, matrix decompositions, uncertainty quantification, and estimation of spot quantities. The results are expected to lead to more efficient estimators and improved predictive capabilities, transforming how high-frequency data is analyzed across domains such as finance, medicine, geosciences, and internet applications. No subawards are planned under this grant.
