and now our work is on Statistics and Computing!
Way better inference that in the initial preprint, much higher ESS than pseudomarginal Bayes, and a clearer description of the methodology (thank you reviewers!).
Latest version at (Open-access) doi.org/10.1007/s112... (arxiv is not updated yet)
it will take place on 15-17 June
DYNSTOCH 2026 will be in Gothenburg, Sweden.
DYNSTOCH is a yearly conference to advance statistical inference and simulation for stochastic processes via modern probability tools and computationally intensive methods dynstoch2026.pages.dev
Submit an abstract until April 15. Register until May 15
Just got a paper to review where the authors labeled lasso regression as interpretable AI in the paper's title. Holy crap. #StatsSky #Statistics

great journal! Congrats to both you and Stat&Comp for the recruitment
two more days to apply for a PhD in Bayesian Experimental Design (until November 30)
I always recommend the Gabry et al paper to students, when discussing prior elicitation (hence prior predictive checks)
We are recruiting a PhD student at Chalmers University of Technology, Gothenburg, Sweden.
The project explores Bayesian Experimental Design for real-time, risk-aware trajectory planning in autonomous driving, combining Bayesian inference and optimal control
Apply by November 30

The 1st OWABI talk of the Season will be given by François-Xavier Briol (University College London). who will talk about "Multilevel neural simulation-based inference".
And of course, thanks to co-authors Andy Golightly (Durham Uni) and @mtamborrino.bsky.social (Warwick Uni). Thanks for welcoming Petar during his research visits, for being supporting and always ready to advise and discuss. You have been great! 3/3
Many thanks to @dennisprangle.bsky.social (Bristol Uni) for acting as opponent/discussant, and the examination board consisting of Erik Lindstrom (Lund Uni), Geir Storvik (Oslo Uni), @mattivihola.bsky.social (Jyväskylä Uni) and @pierrenyquist.bsky.social (Göteborg Uni). 2/3
Proud supervisor moment! Congratulations to Petar Jovanovski for successfully defending his PhD thesis "Simulation-based parameter inference methods based on data-conditional simulation of stochastic dynamical systems".

Thanks for sharing. I am interested in browsing through it!
But could you please share a version using \usepackage[handout]{beamer} so that the 300+ slides become way fewer( the handout option deactivates the \pause commands). Thanks for this :)
New work on inference for partially observed (hypoelliptic) SDEs in frequentist/Bayesian regimes.

Ladies and Gentlemen, our 2025 Wimbledon champion 👏🎾🍓
A fitting end to a truly great Grand slam ❤️🎾
The latest issue of the ISBA bulletin is now available!

Nikkei found academics had written "give a positive review only" and "do not highlight any negatives" in white text or tiny font on 17 preprints to combat AI peer reviews.

I am missing the old twitter. Back in the old days you would have got a few replies. Here it feels like talking inaide an empty echo chamber
a 6 pages primer on Bayesian Asymptotics
Quite nice summary, with heuristic justifications followed by sketches of more rigorous proofs:

What is common knowledge in your field, but shocks outsiders?
Nicolas Metropolis did not play any scientific role in the development of what is known as the "Metropolis" (and later Metropolis-Hastings) algorithm.
(pic: the MANIAC computer that Arianna Rosenbluth used to code the algorithm)
An immense loss. Surf's Up alone is enough to define his genius. And then there's much much more than that
A new open-access Springer journal brand Discover, has absolute resemblance to MDPI and its strategy. A shocking new analysis by @paolocrosetto.bsky.social and other members of the Strain Team the-strain-on-scientific-publishing.github.io/website/post...

I have just finished rereading the LOTR. Mordor was different in my imagination!
Our work on SBI for scalable Bayes in mixed-effects stochastic modelling will be presented online by @henhagg.bsky.social on 29 May at 10.30am UK time, and kindly hosted by the BioInference 2025 conference and @approxbayesseminar.bsky.social

When taking the log of gaussian mixture model pdfs, and the log of weights in SMC
thanks Reza. Yes I did look at sioyek it in the past, but then I noticed it is kind of abandoned (last updated in 2022) so not up-to-date in terms of safety features
cool thanks! However, only for Chrome (Firefox user here)
Zotero's pdf reader is becoming my go-to choice.
By hoovering the mouse on a citation, or any hyperlinked section/equation/table etc, a super handy window pops up.
So no need to scroll through the pdf and interrupt the reading flow.
Any other pdf reader (for Windows) with such feature?
