"Mini Workshop on ABC methods for Stochastic Epidemic Models"
Wednesday December 9, 2009 @ University of Nottingham
http://www.maths.nottingham.ac.uk/~tk/epiABC.html
--------------------------------------------------------------------
There will be a half-day workshop on Approximate Bayesian Computation
(ABC) methodology with application to Stochastic Epidemic Models
organized by the Epidemics group in the Division of Statistics, School
of Mathematical Sciences, University of Nottingham.
There has been an increasing interest in ABC methods over the last few
years. The purpose of this meeting is to bring together researchers who
have applied (or intend to apply) such methods in epidemic modelling
and also identify any further research directions in this area.
There will be three talks (see program below). The meeting is
free and open to everyone but it would helpful if those interested in
attending could email Theo Kypraios ([log in to unmask])
in advance.
The meeting will take place in room C18 of the Pope Building,
University Park Campus, University of Nottingham. Maps and directions
are available at

best wishes,
