O’Bayes 2022 in UC Santa X [deadlinea]

The 14th International Workshop on Objective Bayesian methods (O’Bayes 22) will be held in University of California Santa Cruz, USA, in September from 6th to 10^th, 2022. This conference will celebrate the 70th birthday of Luis Pericchi, a former chair and program chair of the section who has been very influential in the development of Objective Bayesian methods.

The deadline for contributed poster proposal submission has been extended to June 15th, 2022. Junior participants are eligible for grants that should provide (at least partial) travel support. Also, registration for O’Bayes 22 workshop is now open. Notice that there is a reduced fee for students.

O’Bayes 2022 in UC Santa X

two ISBA meetings in 2022

As in 2019, both the O’Bayes and BNP conferences will occur the same year, if not back-to-back as in 2019 (when they were in neighbouring Oxford and Warwick, respectively). To quote from the current Chair of the OBayes section of ISBA, my friend Gonzalo,

“the next International Workshop on Objective Bayes Methodology (O-Bayes, OBayes, O’Bayes, Ohhh Bayes,..) is scheduled for September 2022 from 7th (Wed) to 10th (Sat) and will be hosted by University of California, Santa Cruz. This will be the 14th meeting of one of the longest-running and preeminent meetings in Bayesian statistics (the 1st was in USA 1996; the last one in 2019 in UK). In this conference, we will be celebrating the 70th birthday of Luis Pericchi an extraordinary person who has been very influential in the successful development of OBayesian ideas.”

thus seeing the O’Bayes meeting taking place in North America in early Fall, followed by BNP 13 in South America a month later (and thus Spring!), quoting from Alessandra Guglielmi:

“Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the 13th World Meeting on Bayesian Nonparametrics (BNP Workshop) is postponed until 2022. The meeting is currently scheduled to take place in Puerto Varas, Chile, October 24-28, 2022.”

 

Statisfaction

A collective blog has been started by the statistics students and postdocs at CREST, in the wake of the Valencia meeting. It is called Statisfaction. (The Rolling Stones of Statistics?! Actually, Andrew Gelman also has a post with that title… And it is even part of the Urban Dictionnary!) Since I have no responsability nor even say in the contents of this independent blog, I cannot help but recommend following it! The latest posting is about the slides of Peter Müller’s slides of his Santa Cruz course in Bayesian nonparametrics being available on line.
