Abstract

The Department of Statistics at the University of Connecticut will purchase a Compaq Professional XP1000 EV6 667MHz UNIX systems, ten DELL 1.70GHz dual processors power workstations, and an HP Color LaserJet printer, which will be dedicated to the support of research in mathematical statistics, statistical methodology, statistical computing, complex statistical modeling, and statistical software development. The equipment will be used for several research projects, including, Bayesian analysis of multivariate categorical data and missing covariate data, methodology for analyzing spatial data, statistical inferences for contingency tables, cDNA microarrays, the American travel survey, statistical analyses for infinite variance stable processes, multivariate survival data and highway accidents data, and wavelet modeling of high-frequency data. Additionally, the machines will greatly enhance departmental research and education infrastructure at all levels. They will be made available to all departmental faculty, graduate students
