ABS15 -- Summer school
by Raffaele Argiento 26 Jan '15

26 Jan '15

Please find below the announcement of the 12th edition of the ABS (Applied Bayesian Statistics) summer school. Like in the past two years, the 2015 school will be held in the magnificent Villa del Grumello, in Como (Italy), on the Lake Como shore. Guido Consonni and Fabrizio Ruggeri ABS15 Directors Raffaele Argiento ABS15 Executive Director ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ******************************* * ABS15 * ******************************* Applied Bayesian Statistics School MODERN BAYESIAN METHODS AND COMPUTING FOR THE SOCIAL SCIENCES June, 8 - 12, 2015 - Villa del Grumello, Como, Italy Lecturer: Jeff Gill, Washington University, St. Louis, MO, USA Professor of Political Science Professor of Biostatistics Professor of Surgery (Public Health Sciences) http://jgill.wustl.edu/Site/Homepage.html https://polisci.wustl.edu/Jeff_Gill The conference webpage is >>>> www.mi.imati.cnr.it/conferences/abs15.html <<<< Registration will start after February, 1st, 2015 and details on programme and accommodations will be provided very soon. The conference room allows only for a very limited number of participants (max. 35). Interested people are invited to contact the ABS15 Secretariat at abs15(a)mi.imati.cnr.it COURSE OUTLINE This course covers the theoretical and applied foundations of Bayesian statistical analysis with an emphasis on computational tools for Bayesian hierarchical models. We will discuss model checking, model assessment, and model comparison. The course will cover Bayesian stochastic simulation (Markov chain Monte Carlo) in depth with an orientation towards deriving important properties of the Gibbs sampler and the Metropolis Hastings algorithm. Extensions and hybrids will be discussed. We will then use Markov chain Monte Carlo tools to fit linear and nonlinear specifications with multiple levels, longitudinal features, and non-normal distributional assumptions. Lectures will include theoretical discussions of modeling and estimation as well as practical guidance for fitting complex multilevel models with R and JAGS software. Applications will be drawn from political science,sociology, epidemiology, economic policy, and public administration. Participants are expected to understand linear regression in matrix algebra terminology, have some exposure to R, and know basic statistical inference. PRACTICAL INFORMATION The school will be as usual, with lectures and practical sessions (run by a junior researcher), participants' talks, free Wednesday afternoon, start on Monday after lunch and ending on Friday before lunch. Accommodation is available either at the Villa guesthouse or in downtown hotels. Como can be easily reached by train from Milano and its airports. More details are available on the website. -- Dr Raffaele Argiento CNR IMATI -- Milano Tel. +39 02 23699.529 Web www.mi.imati.cnr.it/raffaele

Con preghiera di diffusione tra tutti i possibili interessati, scusandomi per invii multipli. ******************************************* A v v i s o d i S e m i n a r i o ******************************************* *Lunedi' 26 Gennaio*,*ore 16:00* Aula Dottorato, Dipartimento di Matematica, Universita' degli Studi di Milano via C. Saldini 50, Milano *DAVID LEGLAND* (Institut National de la Recherche Agronomique, UMR-LGMPA, Thiverval-Grignon) terrà un seminario dal titolo *Image analysis developements for plant tissues microstructure quantification* ABSTRACT: In a context of valorisation of plant products, such as food processing or biorefinery, it is often required to better understand the relationships between experimental condition and end-usage properties: mechanical properties, sensory texture, degradability... In order to know how the cellular structure or the tissue organisation impacts the final properties, adequate quantitative methods are required. We will present several methodological developments in the quantification of the microstructure of plant products from digital images acquired at different scales. For quantifying the 3D cellular structure of cells observed at microscopic scales, a stereological approach was developed, involving local discretization of geometric features from 3D binary images using Minkowski functionals formalism, and an estimation at the scale of the organ based on the Horvitz-Thomspon principle. Image texture analysis from mathematical morphology can be used to quantify cellular structure from grey-level macroscopy images. At a larger scale, the spatial organisation of tissues within the organ was described based on tools from spatial statistics. At each quantification scale, the question of the integration of image collection is adressed through the computation of statistical cartographies of the cellular morphology. Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare.
