Most of the time, the systems under study are large,\u201d wrote Chu, citing global-scale numerical weather prediction in one example. \u201cCurrent research endeavours should be focused on creating new methods with high scalability to estimate these large-scale latent variable models. In this proposal, I propose a new research agenda in this direction, which builds upon my recent work in time series and panel data econometrics.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chu notes that applications of latent variable models with time series\/panel and network data are ubiquitous in many areas, including econometrics, biology, ecology, epidemiology, neuroscience, signal processing, and various fields.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>2020 NSERC Discovery Grant Simulation-based Methods for Large Dynamic Latent Variable Models with Unobservable Heterogeneity Professor Ba Chu has been awarded a $90,000 grant from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) for his study entitled \u201cSimulation-based methods for Large Dynamic Latent Variable Models with Unobserved Heterogeneity.\u201d The grant will be distributed [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":313,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_cu_dining_location_slug":"","footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"cu_page_type":[478],"class_list":["post-50459","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry","cu_page_type-research-grants-and-awards"],"acf":{"cu_post_thumbnail":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/economics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/50459","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/economics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/economics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/economics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/313"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/economics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=50459"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/economics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/50459\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":50460,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/economics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/50459\/revisions\/50460"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/economics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=50459"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"cu_page_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/economics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_page_type?post=50459"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
