Working Group on Model-based Clustering and Bayesian Model Selection
Summer session: July 22-26, 2002

Monday-Friday (five days) from 9:00am to noon, in room C-301, Padelford Hall, University of Washington Campus.

Our summer session will focus on model-based clustering and applications (in particular to gene expression data), Bayesian model selection and averaging, and on MCMC and importance sampling methodology. There will be eight "long" talks (sessions of about 80 minutes, hopefully divided about equally between presentation and discussion), and six short talks (15 minutes each, plus some discussion). There will be several visitors, and there has been quite a bit of progress to report, so it should be exciting. Watch this space for details as they become known.
