[Statlist] Workshop on Bayesian Inference for Latent Gaussian Models with Applications

[Andrea Riebler]

Workshop on Bayesian Inference for Latent Gaussian Models with Applications

University of Zurich

Organisers: Reinhard Furrer and Leonhard Held

February 2-5, 2011


Latent Gaussian models have numerous applications, for example in spatial 
and spatio-temporal epidemiology and climate modelling. This workshop brings 
together researchers who develop and apply Bayesian inference in this 
broad model class. One methodological focus is on model computation, using 
either classical MCMC techniques or more recent deterministic approaches 
such as integrated nested Laplace approximations (INLA). A second theme of 
the workshop is model uncertainty, ranging from model criticism to model 
selection and model averaging. 

Abstract submission is open until November 1st, 2010.
