Bayesian Statistics from Methods to Models and Applications: Research from BAYSM 2014 (Springer Proceedings in Mathematics & Statistics)

The Second Bayesian Young Statisticians Meeting (BAYSM 2014) and the research presented here facilitate connections among researchers using Bayesian Statistics by providing a forum for the development and exchange of ideas. WU Vienna University of Business and Economics hosted BAYSM 2014 from September 18^th to the 19^th. The guidance of renowned plenary lecturers and senior discussants is a critical part of the meeting and this volume, which follows publication of contributions from BAYSM 2013. The meeting's scientific program reflected the variety of fields in which Bayesian methods are currently employed or could be introduced in the future. Three brilliant keynote lectures by Chris Holmes (University of Oxford), Christian Robert (Université Paris-Dauphine), and Mike West (Duke University), were complemented by 24 plenary talks covering the major topics Dynamic Models, Applications, Bayesian Nonparametrics, Biostatistics, Bayesian Methods in Economics, and Models and Methods, as well as a lively poster session with 30 contributions. Selected contributions have been drawn from the conference for this book. All contributions in this volume are peer-reviewed and share original research in Bayesian computation, application, and theory.

第二屆貝葉斯年輕統計學家會議（BAYSM 2014）和這裡所呈現的研究，通過提供一個發展和交流想法的論壇，促進了使用貝葉斯統計方法的研究人員之間的聯繫。維也納經濟學與商學大學於2014年9月18日至19日舉辦了BAYSM 2014。著名的主題演講者和高級討論者的指導是會議和本書的重要組成部分，這本書是繼BAYSM 2013的貢獻出版之後的一部分。會議的科學計劃反映了目前應用貝葉斯方法或未來可能引入的各個領域的多樣性。克里斯·霍姆斯（牛津大學）、克里斯蒂安·羅伯特（巴黎第九大學）和邁克·韋斯特（杜克大學）的三場精彩主題演講，以及24場涵蓋主要主題的主題演講，包括動態模型、應用、貝葉斯非參數統計、生物統計學、經濟學中的貝葉斯方法以及模型和方法，還有一個活躍的海報展示會，共有30份貢獻。本書選取了會議上的部分貢獻。本書中的所有貢獻都經過同行評審，並分享了貝葉斯計算、應用和理論的原創研究。
