The focus this quarter will be on (a) Bayesian model selection (Heckerman, Viallefont, Richardson); and (b) inference for deterministic simulation models (Raftery, Poole, Wade, Reynolds). The other presentations (Fayyad, Forbes) will be related to the other topics of the ONR grant. In Spring quarter, those working on the ONR grant will give us updates on their progress.
