[SIPTA] Robustness in Econometrics
by Kreinovich Jan. 7, 2016

Jan. 7, 2016

Dear Friends, Today is the last day of the 9th International Conference of Thailand Econometric Society TES'2016. This conference was a big success, with a Nobelist Robert Engle giving the keynote talk. Next year's conference will be held in Chiang Mai, Thailand, January 11-13, 2017. Its main theme is robustness in econometrics. The main idea that we have only an approximate information about the corresponding probability distributions and about the values of the corresponding parameters. So, it is desirable to develop data processing, data analysis, and prediction techniques which are robust, i.e., in some reasonable sense, applicable not just to the nominal distributions and values, but also to possible deviations from these nominal values. This seems to be a perfect setting for imprecise probability techniques. Mark your calendars. P.S. As in the previous years, accepted papers will be published in an edited volume published by Springer-Verlag as part of the book series "Advances in Intelligent Systems and Computing". P.P.S. Chiang Mai is a city in mountainous northern Thailand that dates back to the 1200s. Its Old City area still retains vestiges of walls and moats from its history as a cultural and religious center. It’s also home to hundreds of elaborate temples, including 14th-century Wat Phra Singh and 15th-century Wat Chedi Luang, adorned with carved serpents.

[SIPTA] Fw: JSM 2016: Reminder Topic-contributed sessions

FYI, possibly a chance for imprecise probability Bayesian ideas ________________________________________ From: ISBA Webmaster <webmaster(a)bayesian.org> Sent: Thursday, January 7, 2016 6:39 AM To: conferences(a)bayesian.org Subject: JSM 2016: Reminder Topic-contributed sessions Dear ISBA members, As the 2016 program chair for the ISBA society contingent at the Joint Statistical Meetings (JSM), I am encouraging ISBA members to organize a topic-contributed session for JSM 2016 in Chicago from July 30 - August 4, 2016. These sessions can be one of two formats: paper or panel. Paper sessions consist of a collection of talks and discussions (if appropriate) that share a common topic. A panel session has three to five panelists who provide commentary on a particular topic. I will work closely with David Dahl, the SBSS chair for JSM, to ensure that good Bayesian sessions are elected for the meeting. Proposals for topic-contributed sessions must be submitted to the online system by January 14, 2016. For more information on how to participate in the JSM, see http://www.amstat.org/meetings/jsm/2016/participate.cfm Many thanks, Bobby Gramacy ISBA Program Chair for JSM 2016 -- Robert B.
