Dear all,
Welcome back! We're happy to continue the Applied Statistics Workshop (Gov
3009) in 2013!
Please join us for the first session of the semester this Wednesday,
January 30 from 12.00 - 1.30 pm in CGIS Knafel Room 354. Tristan Zajonc,
Visiting Fellow at IQSS, will give a presentation entitled "Sense - A Fully
Bayesian Data Analysis Environment for the Cloud Era". As always, a light
lunch will be provided.
Abstract:
Over the last 20 years, probabilistic modeling has
become the preeminent
paradigm for complex statistical analysis in science and social science.
Yet many probabilistic models remain difficult to represent, compose,
estimate, and validate using traditional tools. This talk introduces Sense,
a new data analysis environment that embeds probabilistic modeling into the
core experience. The talk will demonstrate the power of this approach
through a whirlwind tour of probabilistic model representation,
composition, estimation, and validation. The talk will be targeted at both
applied researchers in the sciences and social sciences and those
interested in the future of statistical computing.
An up-to-date schedule for the workshop is available at

Best,
Konstantin
