Here are my slides [more or less] for the introductory overview lecture I am giving today at JSM 2019, 4:00-5:50, CC-Four Seasons I. There is obviously quite an overlap with earlier courses I gave on the topic, although I refrained here from mentioning any specific application (like population genetics) to focus on statistical and computational aspects.
Along with the other introductory overview lectures in this edition of JSM:
- Sunday 28, 2:00-3:50, CC-Four Seasons I: CSI at the JSM: Forensic Statistics and the Value of Scientific Evidence in Court by Hal Stern (University of California, Irvine)
- Monday 29, 8:30-10:20, CC-205: Assessing Procedures vs. Assessing Evidence by Michael Levine (University of Massachusetts, Amherst)
- Monday 29, 2:00_3:50, CC-205: Causal inference in modern statistics by Jennifer Hill (New York University)and Avi Feller (UC Berkeley)
- Tuesday 30, 8:30-10:20, CC-205: Modern Risk Analysis by Walter Piergorsch (University of Arizona) and David Banks (Duke University)

I am off today to Vancouver for JSM2018, eight years after I visited the West Coast for another JSM! And a contender for the Summer of British Conferences, since it is in British Columbia.
And again looking forward the city, (some of) the meeting, and getting together with long-time-no-see friends. Followed by a fortnight of vacations on Vancouver Island where ‘Og posting may get sparse…
I hope I can take advantage of the ten hours in the plane from Paris to write my talk from scratch about priors for mixtures of distributions. Based on our papers with Clara Grazian and with Kaniav Kamary and Kate Lee. Still having some leeway since my talk is on Thursday morning, on the last day of the meeting…
