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

by Kreinovich

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.

[SIPTA] FW: IUKM 2016, mark your calendars

by Kreinovich

FYI -----Original Message----- From: Van-Nam HUYNH [mailto:huynh(a)jaist.ac.jp] Next year, we are planning to have the fifth International Symposium on Integrated Uncertainty in Knowledge Modelling and Decision Making: 4th, IUKM 2015IUKM 2016 in Da-Nang city, Vietnam. Da-Nang is a beautiful coastal city in Vietnam and its quite attractive in terms of sightseeing due to its proximity to several UNESCO World Heritage Sites, including the Imperial City of Hue, the Old Town of Hoi An, and the archaeological site of My Son. IUKM 2016 will be held during 17-19 November, 2016. I hope that you will be able to join us for IUKM 2016 and we would be looking forward to welcoming all of you in the beautiful city of Da Nang. Wishing you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Nam

[SIPTA] 7th SIPTA Summer School on Imprecise Probability - 29 Aug-2 Sep 2016

by Matthias Troffaes

[All our apologies for cross-posting.] Seventh school of the Society for Imprecise Probability: Theories and Applications (SIPTA), Aug 29 - Sep 2, 2016, Durham, UK. Dear colleagues, The Society for Imprecise Probability: Theories and Applications (SIPTA) organizes the 7th edition of its school in Durham, UK, during Aug 29 - Sep 2 2016. The school will be held at the Department of Mathematical Sciences, Durham University, close to the city centre of Durham. The aim of the SIPTA schools is to introduce interested students and researchers to the basics of imprecise probability topics, both theoretical and applied. Some of the best specialists in different aspects of imprecise probabilities lecture, during one week, on the main concepts and techniques in their area of expertise, in a friendly environment favouring interactions between participants. The topics covered this year will provide a general introduction to the latest developments in imprecise probability theory. There will also be a focus on applications of imprecise probabilities in risk and related fields. Students will learn how to deal with situations where information is scarce, vague, or conflicting, and when a unique probability distribution may be hard to identify, from mathematical modelling to statistical inference and practical decision making. The last day of the school overlaps with the WPMSIIP workshop, and will give all participants the possibility to present their work in a seminar, with discussion time. We plan for several leading researchers to be present for the discussions, and we also expect that some of the topics the students work on will be of further interest to the WPMSIIP workshop. Further information concerning registration and a more detailed lecture outline with specific topics and lecturers will follow in January 2016. In the meantime, you can get some further information from the website: http://www.maths.dur.ac.uk/users/matthias.troffaes/siptass16/index.html We are looking forward to meeting you in Durham. We also encourage you to circulate this announcement around you. Best regards, The organizing committee Matthias Troffaes Frank Coolen Gert de Cooman Olivier Strauss Andrea Wiencierz
