2011 Belz Lecture
Adventures in Bayesian Statistics
Professor Kerrie Mengersen, Queensland University of Technology
Modern Bayesian statistical modelling and data analysis have enjoyed a phenomenal explosion in the last 20 years. In common with the work of Belz, this branch of statistical science has pushed boundaries in both methodology and application. In this presentation Professor Mengersen will address the following questions: (i) What has happened in modern Bayesian statistics? (ii) What has Bayesian statistics really done to address significant issues of globalimportance? (iii) How have we been engaged in this field?
