Working Group on Applied, Bayesian and Computational Statistics

This working group meets weekly on Fridays at 9am in Padelford C-301. It was formerly called ``Working Group on Model-Based Clustering,'' and met under that name from 1995 to 2006. The main topics are:

• model-based clustering and mixture models, with applications, including gene expression data and medical imaging
• Bayesian model selection via Bayes factors, and Bayesian model averaging
• Inference for deterministic simulation models, including numerical weather prediction, human population projections, epidemic modeling and urban planning.
