Bayes 250 Conference
at the Royal Statistical Society, 12 Errol Street, London EC1Y 8LX
2013 marks the 250th anniversary of the publication in Dec. 1763 of "An Essay towards solving a Problem in the Doctrine of Chances" in the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London, based on notes by Thomas Bayes and edited by Richard Price who submitted the Essay posthumously.
This publication is acknowledged as the birth certificate of what is now called Bayesian statistics and the Royal Statistical Society decided to celebrate this important milestone in the story of statistics (and not only UK statistics) by organising a conference on Bayesian statistics.
Everyone interested is welcome to present their work during the poster sessions on the afternoon and evening of June 19 (see below for details)
The Royal Statistical Society is looking forward your participation in this event and hopes you will enjoy the variety in the presentations of the programme.
