Dear all,
The next meeting of the South Wales group of the Royal Statistical
Society is on Thursday 21st March at 5:00pm (4:30pm for tea) at the
University in Swansea.
The speaker is Peter Green and he is talking on:
Structure in models and structure in data
There has been exciting progress in recent years in
methods for structured statistical modelling, but
often a perception that these developments are only
of theoretical interest, removed from practical
realities. I will argue that intelligent
data analysis is model-based, and that hierarchical
models offer flexibility, computational tractability
and the opportunity of real understanding,
through exposing the structure of the data.
The lecture room is the Bryn Gravenor Lecture Theatre, Room 16,
Haldane Building. This room is on the ground floor. Various maps
are available at

Tea + biscuits from 4.30pm in Room 114, first floor, same building.
All are welcome
Kerry
