[SIPTA] 7th SIPTA Summer School on Imprecise Probability - 29 Aug-2 Sep 2016
by Matthias Troffaes 16 Dec '15

16 Dec '15

[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

[SIPTA] Call for papers: Special session on IP methods at IPMU 2016 in Eindhoven, NL
by Gero Walter 02 Dec '15

02 Dec '15

Call for papers Special session "Uncertainty Quantification with Imprecise Probability" to be held at 16th International Conference on Information Processing and management of Uncertainty (IPMU 2016, www.ipmu2016.org) at Eindhoven, The Netherlands, June 20th - 24th, 2016. The special session offers a forum for all imprecise/interval probability related contributions at IPMU, while at the same time also setting a focus on (engineering) reliability applications. The session thus aims to link methodological research in imprecise probability to applications in reliability, in order to make, on the one hand, practitioners aware of recent developments, and on the other hand, make IP theorists aware of potential applications and which theory developments are needed from the application perspective. The session also links up thematically with the workshop "Reliable Engineering Computing" (REC 2016, rec.2016.rub.de), which takes place in nearby Bochum (Germany) in the week before IPMU. Papers submitted to the special session will undergo the IPMU reviewing process. The proceedings of IPMU-2016 will be published in Communications in Computer and Information Science (CCIS) with Springer, for details see http://is.ieis.tue.nl/ipmu/authors.htm#instructions Important dates: Paper submission: January 8th, 2016 Notification of acceptance: March 1st, 2016 Camera-ready paper submission: March 31st, 2016 Early/author registration: March 31st, 2016 Conference: June 20-24th, 2016 I hope to see you in Eindhoven!

[SIPTA] Fwd: Call for papers: Entropy Special Issue on Statistical Significance and the Logic of Hypothesis Testing
by Cassio P. de Campos 26 Nov '15

26 Nov '15

Forwarding call below as requested to me. best, cassio. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Call for papers: Special Issue on "Statistical Significance and the Logic of Hypothesis Testing" for Entropy. (ISSN 1099-4300; http://www.mdpi.com/journal/entropy) A short prospectus is given at the volume website: http://www.mdpi.com/journal/entropy/special_issues/statistical_significance This special issue will be fully Open Access. More information is available at http://www.mdpi.com/about/openaccess/. Entropy is an open access journal which maintains a rigorous and fast peer-review system and accepted papers are immediately published online. Because it is an online and open access journal, papers published in Entropy will receive high publicity. It is fully covered by the leading indexing and abstracting services, including Google Scholar, MathSciNet, Scopus and Science Citation Index Expanded (Web of Science). The Impact Factor for Entropy is 1.502 (2014); 5-Year Impact Factor: 1.579 (2014). The importance of using hypothesis testing in the development of research is widely recognized by the general scientific community. This Special Issue focuses on statistical significance and the logic of hypothesis testing and their proper application in practical problems. Specific areas of interest include (but are not limited to): * Formal applications of hypothesis testing to novel applied problems. Philosophical accounts of hypothesis testing (including contributions arguing for or against those). * Methodological developments of hypothesis testing (taking in account the practical usability of them). * Logical accounts of hypothesis testing. * Logical (compositional) properties of truth values. * Statistical significance measures. * Epistemology of statistical significance. * Coherence properties of significance measures. * Surveys of the state of the art in one of the above areas. The official deadline for submission is 30 May 2016. However, you may send your manuscript at any time before the deadline. We can organize a very fast peer-review, if accepted, the paper will be published immediately. The special issue editors: Prof. Dr. Julio Stern University of Sao Paulo, jstern(a)ime.usp.br Prof. Dr. Adriano Polpo Federal University of Sao Carlos, polpo(a)ufscar.br Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any further questions.
