Abstract:

Some recent work in statistical inference and recursive computational methodologies will be presented, with applications. Recursive integration methods will be discussed, which provide an efficient way of evaluating high-dimensional integral expressions. Discussions will also be provided of recent advances in win-probabilities for decision making.

About Statistics, modelling and operations research seminars

Students, staff and visitors to UQ are welcome to attend our regular seminars.

The events are jointly run by our Operations research and Statistics and probability research groups.

The Statistics, modelling and operations research (SMOR) Seminar series seeks to celebrate and disseminate research and developments across the broad spectrum of quantitative sciences. The SMOR series provides a platform for communication of both theoretical and practical developments, as well as interdisciplinary topics relating to applied mathematics and statistics.
