The
Ninth Workshop on Case Studies of Bayesian Statistics took place
on October 19 and 20, 2007 at Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh,
PA. The Workshop featured in-depth presentations and discussions
of substantial applications of Bayesian statistics to problems in
science and technology, poster presentations of contributed papers on
applied Bayesian work, and contributed presentations by
young researchers. In conjunction with the workshop, the Department of
Statistics' Tenth Morris H. DeGroot memorial lecture was delivered
by Professor Larry Brown, University of Pennsylvania. video The case studies selected are:
Young Researchers: Abstracts were solicited from young researchers (currently students or having completed a PhD within five years). The abstracts were to emphasize the scientific problems and how the statistical work solves the problem. These four papers were chosen:
Posters: Abstracts are due by October
5. The organizing committee will select among them in constructing the
final program. Anyone interested in submitting an abstract should look at
the web page "What makes a good case
study?" See a tentative list of posters here. The Carnegie Mellon Department of Statistics, along with the organizers of the Case Studies in Bayesian Statistics Workshop 9, are pleased to announce a celebration in honor of Steve Fienberg on the occasion of his 65th birthday. video and after-dinner talk video |
