Bayesian Methodologies Seminar: Inference in hybrid Bayesian networks with deterministic variables
June 8, 2010
University of Regina
The main goal of this presentation is to describe an architecture for solving large hybrid Bayesian networks (BNs) with discrete, continuous and deterministic variables. In the presence of deterministic variables, we have to deal with non-existence...

University of British Columbia
About the Niven Lectures: Ivan Niven was a famous number theorist and expositor; his textbooks won numerous awards, have been translated into many languages and are widely used to this day. Niven was born in Vancouver in 1915, earned his Bachelor's...
Scientific, Seminar
UW-PIMS Mathematics Colloquium: Quasirandom Processes
May 28, 2010
University of Washington
Probability theory is concerned with regularities in random processes, such as laws of large numbers and limit-shape theorems. Recent work by researchers at the interface between probability and combinatorics shows that many of these regularities...
Scientific, Seminar
Game-theoretic Probability and its Applications
May 26, 2010
University of Regina
The game-theoretic framework, introduced by Vovk and myself in 2001 (www.probabilityandfinance.com), uses game theory instead of measure theory as a mathematical framework for probability. Classical theorems are proven by betting strategies that...
