Valenciam Valencia International Meetings on Bayesian Statistics Bayesian Statistics Statistics is primarily concerned with the analysis of data, either to assist in the appreciation of some underlying mechanism, or to reach effective decisions. In both cases, some uncertainty resides in the situation and the statistician's tasks are both to reduce this uncertainty and to explain it clearly. This is called Bayesian Statistics.
Bayesian statistics is designed to handle all situations where uncertainty is found.
Since some uncertainty is present in most aspects of life, it is held that Bayesian statistics should be appreciated and used by everyone. It is the logic of contemporary society. Every four years since 1979, the University of Valencia, Spain, has sponsored meetings devoted to Bayesian Statistics, the Valencia International Meetings on Bayesian Statistics . The published proceedings are listed below. The tremendous number of citations generated by them underscores their scientific relevance.
