Today I am off to Chile, to attend the 13th Bayesian non-parametric conference, BNP13. Which follows BNP11 that took place in Paris. And BNP12, which took place in Oxford (just prior to O’Bayes in Warwick, which in retrospect was the wrong strategy as most attendees did not extend their stay…). The programme is quite diverse and exciting, plus involving a lot of friends I had not seen for quite a while (as they weren’t at ISBA in Montréal). And the location is fabulous, sitting by Lake Llanquihue [whose waters may prove too cold!] and facing the [tantalizing] volcán Osorno (2652m). Which was observed by Darwin on his second trip, during a 1835 eruption. (The last eruption was in 1869, hopefully staying the same for the whole week!)

Posters can still be submitted to me and registration is still open for another two weeks.
O’Bayes 2019 conference program
Posted in Kids, pictures, Statistics, Travel, University life with tags Bayesian conference, Bayesian model selection, BNP12, England, frequentist inference, imprecise probabilities, ISBA, O'Bayes 2019, objective Bayes, prior selection, Statistical learning, University of Warwick on May 13, 2019 by xi'anThe full and definitive program of the O’Bayes 2019 conference in Warwick is now on line. Including discussants for all papers. And the three [and free] tutorials on Friday afternoon, 28 June, on model selection (M. Barbieri), MCMC recent advances (G.O. Roberts) and BART (E.I. George).
Registration remains open at the reduced rate and submissions of posters can still be sent to me for all conference participants.
O’Bayes 2019, more posters if you please!
Posted in pictures, Statistics, Travel, University life with tags BNP12, Coventry, O'Bayes 2019, Oxford, poster session, University of Warwick, Warwickshire on March 26, 2019 by xi'anAs the announcement for O’Bayes 2019 appeared in the March issue of the IMS Bulletin I just received, let me call for further poster submissions to the meeting. The deadline for travel support submission is past, but poster submissions are welcomed till June 15. (Overlap with BNP12 is not an issue!) Submissions should be sent to me (gmail address: bayesianstatistics) as a one page pdf file. Registration is open, with accommodation options.
O’Bayes 2019: poster deadline extension
Posted in pictures, Statistics, Travel, University life with tags BAYSM 2018, BNP12, conference, conference fees, Fall, ISBA, O'Bayes 2019, poster, quadrangle, University of Warwick on January 31, 2019 by xi'anFor potential participants to the ISBA O’Bayes 2019 conference in Warwick next June 28 – July 02, that is, almost everyone except the participants who have already submitted!, this post is to announce that the deadline for poster submission has just been extended till March 15, to account for BNP 12 potential participants having not yet been notified of the accepted contributed sessions. Or the poster presentations there, since the same poster can be discussed at both places, by all means! (Thank you Robin for pointing this out!) As an aside, the construction of the webpage is still under development for registration fees (low) and university accommodations (cheap), but should be out next week! (The current links are to BAYSM 2018, which took place last year, obviously.)
