FebruaryWorkshop on Bayesian Inference for Latent Gaussian Models with Applications February 2-5, 2011 University of Zurich, Switzerland 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.

8th International Conference on RECENT ADVANCES IN STATISTICS
“Statistics, Biostatistics and Econometrics”
Lahore Pakistan March
March 19-21, 2011 University of Kansas, Lawrence, KS An event in honor of Professor David Nualart 1st Conference on Spatial Statistics March 23-25, 2011 The Netherlands Spatial statistics is a rapidly developing field which involves the quantitative analysis of spatial data and the statistical modelling of spatial variability and uncertainty. Applications of spatial statistics are for a broad range of environmental disciplines such as agriculture, geology, soil science, hydrology, ecology, oceanography, forestry, meteorology and climatology, but also for socio-economic disciplines such as human geography, spatial econometrics, epidemiology and spatial planning. The aim of the meeting is to present interdisciplinary research where applicability in other disciplines is a central core concept.
