The #Bayesian nonparametrics section of ISBA has announced their next webinar, "Random partitions beyond exchageability," presented by Beatrice Franzolini (Bocconi University). Details about upcoming webinars, including the Zoom links, can be found at bnp-isba.github.io/webinars.html

Advance BA pub: In #inverseproblems, optimal sensor locations may be clustered. Daon shows that clusterization is a consequence of the pigeonhole principle and generic for linear problems, arguing against linearization when seeking optimal measurement locations. projecteuclid.org/journals/bay...

The Isaac Newton Institute at Cambridge is hosting a workshop on Accelerating Statistical Inference and Experimental Design with Machine Learning June 23 - 27. It includes tutorials on #Bayesian inference, DoE, and diffusion models. More details at the website: www.newton.ac.uk/event/rclw03/

Advance BA publication: Fraser and Bedard propose a Jeffreys-based prior enabling second-order inference for scalar parameters. The proposed prior is a directional Jeffreys, leading to second-order accuracy in terms of frequency reproducibility. projecteuclid.org/journals/bay...

โœจ Highlights from the December 2024 ISBA Bulletin: ๐Ÿ“Œ Message from the President ๐Ÿ“Œ New Editor-in-Chief for Bayesian Analysis ๐Ÿ“Œ Upcoming 2025 conferences: BAYSM, BISP 14, OBayes, BayesComp, BNP 14 ๐Ÿ“Œ New "Teaching Bayes" section: tools, methods & conferences This and more in the ISBA Bulletin:

New in BA: Jewson et al. show that traditional #Bayesian updating is not stable to perturbations of the lkhd and DGP, whereas a beta-divergence generalised Bayesian update produces similar posterior predictive inference across interpretable neighborhoods of both. projecteuclid.org/journals/bay...

Advance BA publication: Cui and Walker propose a #Bayesian bootstrap (BB) for mixture models by reinterpreting the traditional BB as a stochastic gradient algorithm and using the same mechanism with the switch from a point mass kernel to a continuous kernel. projecteuclid.org/journals/bay...

Advance BA publication: Binks et al. propose a novel, interpretable shrinkage prior which allows inference on the order of stationary vector autoregressions. The work is illustrated in applications to neural activity data to investigate ultradian brain rhythms. projecteuclid.org/journals/bay...
