This center advances knowledge about modeling in economics, finance, statistics, and management, bringing together researchers from disciplines such as econometrics, statistics, computer science, and operations research to focus on the algorithmic research and related software development that provide a basis for today's advanced modeling techniques. Current research is focused on nonparametric modeling, dimension reduction, robust data-mining, statistical learning, selection, risk measurement in finance, supply chain analysis, and lean manufacturing.
