Using machine learning, the...

This $140,482 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program funds research to develop a new methodology that can distinguish between research findings that are generalizable across populations, places, and time, versus those that are context-specific. The research aims to address the fundamental challenge of determining which experimental or observational results can be reliably generalized, in order to improve the...

This $213,462 National Science Foundation award under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program will support the development of new statistical methods for analyzing functional medical data with skewness and outliers. Specifically, the University of North Carolina at Charlotte will develop dimension reduction techniques for quantile regression to analyze functional magnetic resonance imaging and electroencephalogram data related to attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and alcoholism....

This three-year project grant from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program totals $198,744 to fund research on student data in the post-pandemic university setting. The grantee, Columbia University, will conduct a qualitative study exploring how students understand and react to institutional data collection practices and how social differences may impact student experiences with educational technology and data surveillance. Through surveys and...

This three-year, $674,542 National Science Foundation project grant supports research at the University of California Santa Cruz to develop Bayesian statistical and machine learning methods for analyzing complex survey data from the federal statistical system. The grant falls under the NSF's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), which promotes basic research and education in these fields. Specifically, the investigators will extend existing models using data...
