Abstract

The Department of Statistics at the University of Michigan will purchase high-end computing equipment which will be dedicated to the support of research in statistical sciences. The equipment will be dedicated to the support of research in the following projects: (1) Optimizing interventions in the behavioral sciences; (2) Statistical methodology for networks; (3)High dimensional and functional data analysis with applications to bioinformatics and chemoinformatics; (4) Modeling spatio-temporal network properties of the brain and (5) Stochastic dynamical systems and their applications. Further, the proposed equipment will greatly enhance the overall research and education infrastructure of the Department of Statistics. The research to be supported by the planned equipment involves statistical methodology that covers a wide variety of scientific disciplines, including medical and life sciences, health care, information sciences and technology, brain science and infectious diseases. Scientific discoveries would greatly benefit society and the economy.
