Bayes@Lund: 20 April 2017, Lund, Sweden

Welcome to the fourth edition of Bayes@Lund! The purpose of this mini-conference is to bring together people working with or interested in Bayesian statistical methods. Bayes@Lund aims at being accessible to researchers with little experience in Bayesian methods while still being relevant to experienced practitioners (see previous editions 2016, 2015,2014).

The conference will be held on 20 April 2017 starting at 9.00 and ending at 17.00. It will include contributed talks and invited presentations by Prof. Richard McElreath and Prof. Darren Wilkinson. The day before (19 April) there will be an introductory tutorial on Bayesian analysis.

The organization of Bayes@Lund 2017 is made possible thanks to BECC, Biodiversity and Ecosystem services in a Changing Climate, and the COMPUTE research school, both at Lund University.

• Darren Wilkinson is professor at the School of Mathematics and Statistics at Newcastle University (UK) and co-Director of the ESPRC Centre for Doctoral Training  in Cloud Computing for Big Data at Newcastle University. He has authored more than 100 research articles in Bayesian methodology, Bayesiancomputation, systems biology and stochastic modelling. He is the author of an influential monograph published by CRC Press in 2012, entitled Stochastic Modelling for Systems Biology.You can also follow his blog. He will talk on "Hierarchical modelling of genetic interaction in budding yeast".

• Richard McElreath is professor and director of the Department of Human Behavior, Ecology and Culture at Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology (Germany). He has authored more than 100 research articles in ecology and human evolution. He is the author of two monographs, including the acclaimed Statistical Rethinking: A Bayesian Course with Examples in R and Stan (CRC Press, 2015). Some of his lectures are available on YouTube. He will talk on "Understanding Bayesian statistics without frequentist language".

The program is now available. You can also find the abstracts booklet with maps and tips.

The call is now closed.

Registration to the conference is now closed.
