Dear SIPTA list member,
We are happy to announce the
** 8th Workshop on Principles and Methods of Statistical Inference with Interval Probability (WPMSIIP) **
to take place from
** Monday, 31st August, to Saturday, 5th September, 2015 in Munich, Germany. **
(See also maths.dur.ac.uk/stats/people/fc/wpmsiip.html for the previous workshops in this series and the successively updated workshop page at www.statistik.lmu.de/wpmsiip_2015/index.html.)
The workshop follows the established WPMSIIP format and focuses on the informal discussion of ongoing research in imprecise probability and related topics. Thus it provides an ideal platform for stimulating exchange of ideas, including the opportunity for PhD students to present their first results to a wider, encouraging audience.
The workshop week from Monday to Friday is roughly structured by (generally formulated) 'theme days', which are organized individually by two topic experts in the style they feel appropriate. On Saturday there will be a day excursion to a nice place nearby.
Everyone is most welcome to participate and to present her/his views on one or more of the covered topics, on one or more days! We welcome any stimulating contribution, ranging from a 5 minutes sketch of some current idea or an unanswered question to a longer presentation of ongoing research or discussion panels on controversial issues.
Please contact us before April 10th at julia.plass(a)stat.uni-muenchen.de if you have suggestions for topics or theme days.
For sake of organization we would kindly ask you to let us know prior to mid June if you intend to participate.
Feel free to get in touch with us at any time if you require further information.
Best wishes from Munich,
Thomas Augustin, on behalf of the WPMSIIP group and the local organizers
