2nd STATALK ON BAYESIAN NONPARAMETRICS @ Collegio Carlo Alberto, 19 Feb 2016
by Matteo Ruggiero 21 Dec '15

21 Dec '15

******************************************************************************************************* 2nd STATALK ON BAYESIAN NONPARAMETRICS @ Collegio Carlo Alberto, 19 Feb 2016 ******************************************************************************************************* Dear all, we are pleased to announce that the second edition of the StaTalks series will be held at Collegio Carlo Alberto on February 19, 2016. StaTalks are one-day workshops on statistical topics during which the hosting group introduces and overviews the main research interests of their members. Aimed at Master’s and PhD students, as well as at post-docs and young researchers, StaTalks are intended to be informal gatherings which allow for a more proficient interaction between presenters and participants. They typically feature some introductory tutorials on the main workshop theme and a few seminars that overview more advanced research topics, still kept at an expository level. StaTalks are thus a great opportunity to become acquainted with the workshop main topic, as well as to share and update one's knowledge on the interface of Statistical research in an easy and informal atmosphere. StaTalks are endorsed by Y-SIS (https://sites.google.com/site/youngsocietaitalianastatistica/) the young section of the Italian Statistical Society. The first edition has been a StaTalk on Biostatistics, held in April 2015 at the University of Milan. The second StaTalk will be held on February 19, 2016, at Collegio Carlo Alberto. The topic of the second StaTalk will be Bayesian nonparametrics, a field of Statistics which has experienced a tremendous growth in the last few decades, both in terms of research production and in terms of impact of the discipline on the applications. Collegio Carlo Alberto, which will host the event, is a research and high education institution which comprises national and international faculty members, research fellows and visiting scholars in the fields of Economics, Statistics and wider social sciences. The Collegio is sited in a historical building in Moncalieri, at the outskirts of Torino, and can be easily reached from Torino city centre with public transportation. The StatTalk on Bayesian nonparametrics is supported by the “de Castro" Statistics Initiative in collaboration with Collegio Carlo Alberto. Additional info can be found at the workshop page www.carloalberto.org/research/statistics-initiative/events/statalk Information on the PROGRAMME can be found here www.carloalberto.org/research/statistics-initiative/events/statalk/workshop… Information on the REGISTRATION (which is free of charge but mandatory) can be found here www.carloalberto.org/research/statistics-initiative/events/statalk/registra… Best regards, The Organising Committee --- Matteo Ruggiero University of Torino and Collegio Carlo Alberto www.matteoruggiero.it
